Part of my thinking was also that without a delay-like mechanism, the 
Promotor can always have the last word by dropping in a last-minute proposal 
before distributing.  That always struck me as *slightly* too powerful.

But my next set of "simplification" ideas involves giving the officers as
a group much more discretion (or power) over their realm of influence, so 
maybe that's cool.

Good point.  I was thinking of aiming for Wednesdays, but can push that 
forward; 
in any case I didn't mean last week's to be so near the end of the week.

Well, I'm not sure delaying proposals is the same as metering them.  I
guess it's interesting that it depends on the Promotor, in that as
Ørjan noted, distributing on Mondays would work virtually the same as
the old way, while distributing on Sundays would increase latency by a
week, but if you continue to do the latter, I'm not a big fan of
waiting 3 weeks for many proposals to be adopted.

BTW with the current system it would seem to speed things up if you 
distribute closer to the beginning of the week.
