Same thing applies, since they both have the same shortcomings.
Again, you proved my point that people dont fully read threads, when
given a reference to them.

Yes, I completely agree, this is a good testbed case for the process.
It is a testbed as to whether OpenCSW is going to continue forward as
a fair, democratic organization, or one where voices in opposition to
board members, are locked out of the voting process.

_I'm not looking for further discussion_. I'd like to see a vote; one
in which both sides get a fair voice on the ballot.

You said there is "nothing wrong" with my proposal in drawing up
ballot descriptions, so lets move forward with it, unless there are
any other objections?
There is no reason that this will significantly 'delay' anything,
since there is no need for further back-and-forth discussion. That is
another reason why I specified that each side gets exclusive control
over their side of the writeup, baring factual errors: To eliminate
delays in voting.
Unless Maciej is feeling particularly slow in writing up "his" side, I
see no reason that a vote could not be started in 24 hours from now. I
can certainly have my side written within that period of time.

Mr. Secretary, what say you?
