Not what I meant, but I'll grant you there's some room for confusion
here.

I have accepted Neil's original proposal to drop the second item in the
above, and make it an extra entry in the "further reading" section.
Under A.1.2, that means my original proposal and Neil's amendment A
should now be considered one and the same thing, both using Neil's text
(unless any of the seconders of my original proposal were to object,
which so far nobody has done and which would surprise me, given the
seconders of the original proposal and of Neil's first amendment are
largely the same people)

I interpret all that as meaning Neil's second amendment must now be
based upon his first amendment (which, indeed, his proposal as sent was
not). It would therefore read:

<ol>
<li>The Debian project decides to accept a code of conduct for
   participants to its mailinglists, IRC channels, and other modes of
   communication within the project.

<li>Updates to this code of conduct should follow the normal GR
   procedure. However, the DPL (or the DPL's delegates) can add or
   remove links to other documents in the "Further reading" section
   after consultation with the project and without requiring a GR.

<li>The initial text of the code of conduct follows, in markdown format.
</ol>

i.e., dropping item 2 (and adding the text of his amendment A to the
"further reading" section).

A strict reading of Neil's original text would indeed imply the above is
wrong, but I would be surprised if that were his intention, given that
he proposed that change in the first place...
