I'm having email problems and I haven't received via email either
the post [1] that I sent earlier today on this VOTE thread, or
Ant's response [2] to my post.
I'd like to respond to what Ant said, and the only way I can
think of to do that is to post my response here.

We've just had 19 votes in favour of this wording so it could be argued that
that now makes this more the "correct" one than that old one :-)
Seriously though, its a good catch but we've had a solid turn out in this
vote so it would be a shame to abandon now and restart. I think it will be
ok to take this as the "we're ready" project vote and then use the updated
words you've just posted when we take it to the IPMC vote. There's often
tinkering with the proposal wording of other poddlings during graduation
votes without a complete restart so i think its fine for us to do that here
too.
I'm not happy that we would do this over something as important as
the technical charter for the project. I think we need to formally
vote as a project on the words we want to take forward to the IPMC.
We should be able to restart the vote with this correction and have
it complete in time to get the proposal to the board in time for
the May board meeting.
What do other people think about this?

to create an even more diverse community, we have shown we can do

graduate Tuscany to a TLP.
+1 from me.
