I don't agree. I think the explicit acknowledgement that we're going to try it for twelve months and scrap it if it doesn't work creates a considerably different mindset and approach to the second vote. The second vote should be a "I've looked at what's happened and I think it's working and worth keeping" check, not a "people are just sore losers and repeating previous votes that they lost" thing, and how it's presented in the initial proposal makes a huge difference there. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
