Hm. Could be, although this particular subject has been discussed, semi-proposed and whatnot already at some serious length in the past, the usual circular discussion following suit hereafter.
I only ever saw haphazard discussion, never a clear proposal, and then suddenly a vote. The discussion then had to happen mixed up with the vote. This approach does not seem to work.
I think a discussion intermixed with a vote changes the vote so that people end up voting on different issues -- with no clear cut result.
