1. SIMPLE MAJORITIES SHOULD RESOLVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMBIGUITY: The
I would be reluctant to vote for a proposal that allowed majorities to decide ambiguity. First, I am concerned that it might be open to abuse. Secondly, I believe that the policy making process should be distinct from the process of interpreting that policy and I think that vesting that interpretation in a few individuals charged with interpreting original intent rather than proposing new policy is a better practice. I also believe that "fixing" the voting process so that it is convenient enough to use more often would be a bad idea. Currently, the complexity and effort involved in passing a GR serves as a strong insentive to reach a consensus through other means. I believe this is good, just as I believe that having a decision making process to use when consensus fails is also good. However, I'm a fairly new Debian developer and my perceptions about how good of an idea it is to have a complex voting system may be inaccurate. --Sam
