Seconded. It's not a question of opposing the previous choice but it's fair to leave a chance to those who have not voted the first time (me included) to express their disagreeement. I have to say that when one needs to vote on a "change of a foundation text", he needs to see a diff of the change and a set of rationale why those changes were proposed. The absence of those elements directly led to my decision to not vote... I've let people who had enough time to have read the thread vote for me... Furthermore our vote mechanism deals nicely with the existence of several options and I see no reason why this amendment couldn't be included in the vote.
