That might change.  It would be nice to fix this definition so that it
works for N:M as well as N:1.

Please do feel free to suggest improvements to the wording.  I want
this to be clear and unambiguous.

How about if we s/supermajority/majority/ in what I just proposed ?

How you implement this is up to you, I think, but 1. clearly it would
be wrong to have a GR which affected the rules for a vote currently in
progress and 2.  we don't want to hold the whole lot sequentially.

Certainly we would like to run all the votes concurrently.
