If it helps I hereby suggest Steve's change.
In general I'm very in favor of the secretary interpreting the
constitution to allow Ian or other proposal authors to update their
proposals in response to feedback.
My preferred such interpretation would be that Ian is withdrawing and
submitting his proposal, and the secretary interprets the sponsorships
to still apply unless that is clearly inconsistent with the text of the
sponsorship.
If the secretary would rather assume that I as proposer of the
resolution suggest any necessary changes to the formal amendments I'm
fine with that too.
Basically I don't want to get in the way of people refining text.
