I don't think that withdrawing an option changes the minimum
discussion period.
In A.2 it says:
4. The minimum discussion period is counted from the time the last
formal amendment was accepted, or since the whole resolution was
proposed if no amendments have been proposed and accepted.
To confuse people, in A.1 it says:
6. The proposer of a resolution may make changes to correct minor
errors (for example, typographical errors or inconsistencies) or
changes which do not alter the meaning, providing noone objects
within 24 hours. In this case the minimum discussion period is not
restarted.
Which seems to imply that maybe other options under A.1 might have
that effect, other than A.1.2.
Withdrawing is under A.4, which doesn't say anything about the
discussion period.
Anyway, I'm not sure what the "I'd like" means. Is that just an
intention to do it, or did you do it?

The reason I didn't reorder it yet, is because it's talked about
like that. But I guess I can just reorder it on the page, keep the
letter but change the number.
In any case, at the time of the vote I want the order on the page
to be the same as the option on the ballot.
