Hi,
I've been thinking for a while now that it would be good if general
resolutions had a Rationale with them. At the moment, it can be
difficult to establish the key arguments for and against a particular
proposal, unless you have the time to wade through an often-lengthy
thread on debian-vote, which not all DDs read.
I would like to propose, therefore, the requirement that anyone
proposing a GR be required to provide a short (no more than, say, 500
words) summary of why they believe the GR to be necessary. A similar
requirement would apply to those proposing an amendment.
In the interests of fairness, those opposed to a proposal but not
wishing to amend it should also be allowed a rationale. My suggestion
here would be that A set of DDs (equivalent to the requirement for
amendments) could have an opposing rationale added to the GR; I would
envisage only one of these per GR.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Matthew
