Please would you regard each option as a resolution and allow people to second all of them, or some subset of them if they wish? I think that the options are mutually incompatible (feel free to rule otherwise), so will be on the same ballot anyway, so is there any benefit in making people send N seconding emails when they want to second all those options being on the ballot? If they object to one, they can omit it from their sponsorship. On a related point, I've been disappointed for a while that amendments are used to replace (rather than amend) proposals. I believe requiring people to pick X or Y or Z (instead of X + Y - Z) makes it much harder to develop a consensus. Would any DDs be willing to support a GR that requires amendments to keep a non-trivial part of the proposal? Otherwise, it should be a new alternative resolution.
