 Let the TC do their work. They're coming up on a vote, and they may even
 suggest a GR.
 
 
 This GR is premature.

Seconded.

 I will not vote on any GR with more than four options.

Note that the number of options on a GR is not necessarily controlled
by the proponent.  For example, the proponent could propose a GR with
four options, but then some people who think the GR was a very bad
idea propose a rotten tomatoes option as an amendment.

So if you are to apply a rule of thumb like the one you suggest, you
should apply it to the options proposed by the proponent.

I do not suggest this as a rule of thumb.  It was just a statement that
at least I seem to have a mental restriction to decide between more than
four options.  May be it is just me - I simply wanted to let others
know.  (Hey for what purpose did people invented the internet other than
share your personal point of view. ;-))

Kind regards

Andreas.

 This is the revised draft GR proposal (please see below); I'm looking
 for sponsors now.

I would consider sponsoring a GR, but like others I would like to see
the TC vote first.  And, I strongly suggest you trim down both the
number of options, and the length of the text for each option.

Ian.

I'd like to raise the objection that the TC hasn't done their job yet,

grounded facts out yet, we've not let the process work.

AOL.  For both the reason I mentioned in [1] --- which clearly Guillem
disagrees with --- and the reason given above by Paul.

Cheers.
