Quite. But Johns amendment does not solve this, really -- all
he does is remove all per item quorum requirements, which is likle
throwing out the baby with the bath water.

I am glad we agree.

I tend to agree. If someone would write up an amendment which
encapsulates this, without getting rid of the concept of per item
quorum needs, I would accept that in the GR.
Aj, if you could write up something about the minor flaws you
see (including renaming the RATIONALE to something saner), I would
consider that too.
I am away from home, and my keyring, and can only snatch short
periods of connectivity to the net, so I would appreciate it if
someone took the lead in writing up these modification (or wait until
I get back home on the weekend).
