I think that if you as TC propose a resolution (that you voted on), the TC is the proposer, not the member, and that the TC as a whole needs to accept the amendments, and so have a vote to accept it or not. But I do see why you would like to avoid that. To avoid that, you can just propose this as an individual, I see no reason why you would need to do this as the TC. > I'm hoping that you'll say that it's just the TC as a whole but that > the TC can delegate that power. I don't see anything giving the TC the power to delegate anything, while I do see it for the project leader and the secretary. So if you want to do this, I will have to think about this some more. > If so, the TC's own resolution > starting the GR can contain something like this: > > For the purposes of accepting or rejecting amendments to this GR > proposal, according to Constitution A.1(2), we delegate to <name> > the power to accept amendments, and to each of our other members > the power to veto the acceptance of amendments (as if each TC > member was a sponsor).

But I'm personally having doubts about this veto power. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
