I completely disagree with you. The constitution states "an immediate vote is held" and I don't see that only the proposer can call for a vote in this case. The way I read it it's not necessary that the proposer needs to call for a vote in this case. I very much appreciate the secretarys work. If you and several others still feel that it is necessary for me as proposer to call for a vote I will send out a signed mail later today. yours Martin -- http://martin.wuertele.net/ -- Debian -- OFTC -- SPI -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <azeem> "apt meldete, es werden ca. 70 Pakete deinstalliert werden müssen und mir kam es seltsam vor, aber dachte mir das Teil wird schon wissen was es tut." <josef> azeem: apt-get ist ein Tool, ein Werkzeug.
