A and C are mutually exclusive, as are C, D, and E. Given this, a joint ballot would have to look like: 1) A + C 2) A + D 3) A + E 4) B + C 5) B + D 6) B + E 7) FD Now, even if A + C and A + D seem pathological, 1) A + E 2) B + C 3) B + D 4) B + E 5) FD Which is better. But the consensus seems to be emerging that these are separate issues, an d separate ballots look like: [ ] Recall [ ] Do not recall [ ] FD [ ] Affirm DPL + approve dunc-tank (Loïc) [ ] Affirm DPL (Joss) [ ] FD > anyway we are now stalled by Josselin's proposal, AFAICT. No, that is not so. Since your recall is an independent resolution from the affirmation, you are not delayed. Since Loïc did not accept Joss's amendment, he is not delayed either -- only accepted amendments to a proposal reset discussion times. (same is true for combining manoj -- "I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
