Hmm. Even though I think your proposal seems like a tool not entirely
fit for the job at hand, I find your reasoning persuasive. It might
just do the job anyway.
For what it's worth I think the new foundation document your proposal
introduces will be useful outside the scope of this particular issue.
In all likelyhood, I will rank it above the other proposals that are
currently slated for inclusion on the ballot.
