If the current vote is going to be interpreted that way then any option that _modifies_ foundation documents is not relevant and does not add to the GR. The same goes for options that _structurally_ allow the RT to allow violations. Those are clearly long-term decisions, which apparently you feel should be decided separately. I therefore propose to remove Proposals 5 and 6 on your list [1] from this vote and to hold a separate vote on them later. IMO the then remaining proposals still cover all relevant scenarios for the release of Lenny (as proposal 3 basically covers 5 with a restriction to Lenny). The current ballot really is highly inconsistent and confusing with your interpretation of it. This does leave the problem whether a delay of a vote on GR proposals that have received sufficient seconds is allowed, but possibly if the proposers of 5 and 6 agree we should just do that.
