On 19 July, Manoj proposed a constitutional amendment requiring
a super-majority vote to change the SC or DFSG. This proposal is at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-0007/msg00061.html
On the same date Branden proposed an amendment to Manoj's
proposal that made it clear that a super-majority vote is not required
to change the SC or DFSG. This proposal is at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-0007/msg00052.html
Both proposals received seconds, but I did not count the number
of seconds received.
A vote on these two proposals before the vote on removing
non-free would go a long way towards clearing the air.
