I should expand on this.  The Constitutional Standard Resolution
Procedure anticipates this flow:
  * proposal
  * discussion including amendments
  * vote

In the TC, TC members are trusted not to call for votes without giving
other people an opportunity to propose amendments.  I gave Bdale clear
notice that I wanted to propose amendments and he did not do so.
This is manipulation of the process.

If I lose this no confidence vote, I will consider trying to amend the
constitution to impose a minimum 1-week discussion period for TC
votes.

Ian.
