I did verify the signature, and it was good. The subject of the
email clearly indicates to me it's an amendment to the GR. It
would have been nice that it said it replaced the whole proposal
with that text, but I think it's clear enough what the intention
is. So I think the answer to your question is yes.
But note that at that time it's still just a proposal, it's not
been accepted, nor has it received enough sponsors.

I currently don't see why the call only happened after the other
things happened. As far as I know, it's not exactly defined when the
discussion period stops, and it seems you want a clear point. But
since there is no clear point, I am flexible up to a certain point.
A.2.3 also seems to that they should copy the full text all the
options. The text is already on the website, so I see little point
in doing that.
