A draft report is below, but first some news items:
1. If anyone wants to add one of the proposals resolved as no quorum
back and pend it, now would be a good time. I didn't see any point in
adding them back, but if someone wants to preserve the metadata I can
do that (Rule 2350).
2 I'd like to solicit ideas about which proposal should be 8000. I
think it ought to be something befitting the honor, but none of the
current batch are obvious candidates (with no offense intended to any
of their authors). If someone wants to write a ceremonial resolution
or something like that, I'd be happy to pay the pend fee and a small
reward. Otherwise, I'd appreciate suggestions on which existing
proposal to assign that number.
Thank you,
Aris

Amend Rule 217, "Interpreting the Rules", by changing the text
"Definitions in lower-powered Rules do not overrule common-sense
interpretations or common definitions of terms in higher-powered rules."
to read
"Definitions in lower-powered Rules do not overrule common-sense
interpretations or common definitions of terms in higher-powered rules, but
may constructively make reasonable clarifications to those definitions. For
this purpose, a clarification is reasonable if and only if it adds detail
without changing the underlying general meaning of the term and without
causing the higher powered rule to be read in a way inconsistent with
its text."
