Hi, I am hereby proposing the amendment below to the general resolution entitled "Enhance requirements for General resolutions". PROPOSAL START ===================================================================== General Resolutions are an important framework within the Debian Project. While over those years, some problems have arised during the discussion and/or voting of some resolutions, there is no evidence that changing the number of sponsors (seconds) for GR proposals or amendments will help solve those problems. Instead, by making it harder to propose general resolutions or amendments, it might make it harder to improve imperfect resolutions, or to add valuable options to a ballot. Therefore the Debian project reaffirms the current requirements for the sponsoring (seconding) of GR proposals or amendments, and for overruling of delegates. ===================================================================== PROPOSAL END This is an attempt to provide a rather neutral "keep things as is" option. I believe that we need to provide basic information about why we are voting this, hence the first paragraph, which, I hope, is vague enough ("might", etc) not to prevent anyone from sponsoring or voting for this option. I hope that Bill Allombert will rescind his own amendment. If he chooses to keep it, I might rescind this one instead (we don't need two "keep things as is" options on the ballot). Also, it would be great if the title of the GR was "enhanced" with s/Enhance/Change/. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
