	I think these are mostly orthogonal. The reasons are twofold
 -- we need an update mechanism for the policy, and the constitution
    proposal, by it's own rules, has expired, and has generally been
    mired in apathy. 
 -- we need not resort to constitutional procedures to implement the
    update mechanism outlined in the guidelines I proposed, so there
    is no need wait for the ratification of the constituion. 

	If people disagree, they can just vote NO ;-).

	In any case, lest this becomes yet another debating society
 debacle, the discussion period is ended; either we accept this, or we
 reject this.

 no votes so far.
