It sounds good to me, Sotiris ... but it's not up to me
to decide on its adoption once it's done. Perhaps if you
explained it a little more fully to the group, they'd
find it an appropriate solution.

I sometimes wonder whether people in this group will ever
"get it" that what I've been advocating all along is some
form of process whereby possible solutions are discussed,
tested, compared, and eventually voted upon by the group
rather than identify ideas with particular individuals
and judge them according to whether or not one likes the
person they came from.

The latter approach has been tried for nearly a year and
the results have not been stellar. Can't we finally try
the other, which is normal elsewhere and seems to allow
for democratic decision-making?
