And let's talk about anything more in the Spring!
The John McQueen Option
John McQueen's voting proposal is the eldest proposal that has been widely distributed. It appears to have wide assent. John McQueen himself is widely respected.
I don't like it as much as other proposals, and a lot of people have other favorites -- but that's probably a hallmark of a good compromise!
I propose the following outline for a compromise package to offer to the DPCA as a whole:
- Amend only those bylaws strictly necessary to implement McQueen's voting scheme.
- Reject all proposals besides those necessary to accomplish (1) -- whether generated by the Bylaws Committee or Country Committees (e.g. Greece)
- Vote in Seoul on whether to hold a constitutional convention.
There are plenty of models for the convention idea, and we need not endorse one now. That should be discussed in Seoul, with presentations on the options. I would be happy to develop the presentation on those models.
