If there are no more significant comments and amendents I shall call for a vote in two weeks [4.2(4), A.2]. I call on Manoj to formally withdraw [A.4, 4.2(5)] his proposed amendment, as I believe based on public and private email I've answered all of the concerns it addressed. I hereby propose and accept an amendment to my motion, for the changes from 0.6, at ...-0.6.html, to this version. Changes since 0.6, most significant first: * "Debian's property" in s.9 (SPI) changed to "Property held in trust for purposes related to Debian", to avoid possible tax liability and other legal problems. This is a significant substantive change ! * Person who calls for a vote must collate motions, amendments, etc., though Secretary doesn't have to use their collation. * Proposer of a resolution can suggest wording changes to amendments, to take effect if amender agrees as well and no seconders (of the amendment) object. * Technical Committee member can't vote on motions to overrule themselves as a developer, unless they're the Chairman (who only gets a casting vote anyway). * Technical Committee has a quorum, of two _including_ the chairman (who can not otherwise vote, usually, having only a casting vote). * Section on withdrawing (A.4) is now clearer and (probably) has more sensible effect. * `Decision body of last recourse' sentence about SPI clarified. * Decisionmakers listed in rough order of precedence. (No substantive change, though.) * Typo and numbering fixes. Ian. (Please honour the `Reply-To: debian-devel' header.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
