Andreas Barth was part of the first circle of people consulted on it and as such i guess co-autored it. I think Steve disagrees on rushing this, but didn't seem to be opposed to it, not sure. Manoj commented on irc that it did not need a 3:1 majority, as it didn't modify the Social Contract or DFSG. I guess it would be good for it to obtain a very large majority though, which it probably will. > > Manoj was of the opinion that the RMs have the power to decide this all by > > themselves, but it was my understanding that they where searching the > > legitimacy of a GR vote in order to do so. > > Manoj?
