This GR actually changes the SC, and thus is done according to the constitution § 4.1.5 and requires 3:1 majority to pass... This may be bad, since we've just changed the SC, and we actually don't want to change it back. (It may be bad publicity too) Can't we have a GR that simply overrules aj's decision about his personal interpretation of the SC (according to the constitution § 4.1.3) and simply reaffirms that the changes done to the social contract are only editorial, and are done to clarify its meaning? Actually none of us have any problems with the new SC, it's only aj's decision to anticipate dealing with this issues before sarge, instead of after it, that we don't like... Thanks, Guido PS Sorry Steve if I've previously sent this privately... Wrong key pressed...
