I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at there, but it sounds to me
like:
A.3. Voting procedure
1. Each independent set of related amendments is voted on in a
separate ballot. Each such ballot has as options all the sensible
combinations of amendments and options, and an option Further
Discussion. If Further Discussion wins then the entire resolution
procedure is set back to the start of the discussion period. No
quorum is required for an amendment.
2. When the final form of the resolution has been determined it is
voted on in a final ballot, in which the options are Yes, No and
Further Discussion. If Further Discussion wins then the entire
procedure is set back to the start of the discussion period.
ie: given an proposal and a controversial amendment, we first vote on what
the final form of the ballot should take, then vote on the final ballot.
Which is what we're doing.
Cheers,
aj
