As I explained in my mail, no one had replied to any of the posts containing my very directed and specific questions (not even you -- and you still haven't), so I figured that no one cared. That's not an unreasonable assumption given that I posted the same questions 3 times and got silence in return.
I am unaware of any special "right" required to make a motion. Are there some protocols (perhaps a la Robert's Rules of Order) that are typically used for making a motion? I haven't seen any...? The agenda for the SC Developer's Summit is already over-full. This conversation is fine to begin in e-mail; a good start would be answering my original questions. Thanks!
