This is a plausible approach to take; it's roughly what Manoj's amendment would do. But right now, you've probably gone and made things about ten times worse. Because the Project Secretary has apparently vanished from the face of the earth, you're it. As such, it's inappropriate for you to make substantive suggestions about resolution, given that you will also be the person charged with deciding constitutional questions and the like. So can I beg that you please not try and make substantive resolutions just yet, and instead focus on reassembling some kind of rational and unbiased procedure that makes sense? It might now be too late for you to do that with credibility, because you are now making substantive proposals, and any procedure you outline might be read as an attempt to get your proposal passed. But maybe not. We need a secretary, now, to deal with the current situation and to focus on procedure. I guess I would be happy to deal, but I have also made lots of substantive statements about the present issues, and that would probably mandate against me. THIS is the priority. There are plenty of proposals on the table. We do not need more proposals. We need someone who is official in charge of running the ballots and elections to actually do so. There a jillion ways to get us there, but it takes, you, Wichert, and Darren to actually DO IT. Thomas
