This also seems to be what the proposal is about. Since the wording is from the proposer of the GR, I would tend to go along with him knowing what the proposal is all about.

It is only meant to identify the proposal well enough that the voter can distinguish it from the other choices. In this case, the wording has been vetted by the proposer of the amendment, so I am sure that it is not deceptively incorrect. manoj -- Pardon this fortune. Database under reconstruction.
