Firstly, why is a general resolution marginalized because we
are going to vote on it on its own? This is mystifying.
As to the timing, I thought that letting people know about the
standing of the resolution early was a service -- and I fail to see
why delaying the announcement while other people commented would have
made a difference.
Either the resolution is valid, and needs to be voted upon, or
it is not. If you do not think we need to vote on it, please withraw
that resolution.
