Hello, I see much discussion of the deliberation, framed as a vote, but that’s not what it is. I think mentions of votes, opposition, veto, and similar phrases miss the point.
The deliberation is meant as a way to get a clear understanding of what people have said and done before—a show of hands to remove ambiguity. What matters in this process is not the deliberation: it’s the discussion where everyone shares their feelings, states their needs, and turns that into a proposal to amend the document. In some cases, conflicting needs will be irreconcilable and the proposal will end up being withdrawn, and that’s fine. But in many cases, we should be able to come up with proposals that account for everyone’s needs. Ludo’.
