Oh, I perhaps mistakenly assumed “deliberation” was the same as French
“délibération”, “decision taken by a governing body”:

  https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/d%C3%A9lib%C3%A9ration#Traductions
  https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/d%C3%A9lib%C3%A9ration

Wiktionary seems to agree with the “decision taken” meaning, but WordNet
(US English) less so.

So now I’m not so sure but I still find the term “vote” to be loaded
(and not what GCD 001 uses anyway).

WDYT?
