I gathered that you were interested in seeing the vote split up into multiple votes on every single section because you weren't happy with the amendment in total rather than inviting a discussion on the perceived issue(s) with different section(s) of the amendment. > So, can we discuss the different sections separately, and then perhaps > replace the current proposals (much of which I do like) with > section-by-section consideration, so that we can get each section as > good as possible? Why not start a discussion dealing with the actual issue(s) then? If there are sections which you don't particularly like, bring them up for discussion. Then if you find people who feel likewise, propose an amendment, get it seconded by the people who feel likewise, and vote for it when it appears on the ballot. I, for one, look forward to hearing what you have to say.
