Previously in this thread, it was suggested that I make a formal proposal to the UTC. I have held back from doing this because it's not at all clear what implementation I should be proposing, or whether I can propose something WITHOUT an implementation. (Some advise there would be handy!)
Should I trust that the UTC will be aware of the informal proposal of the rainbow flag when they meet to discuss PRI #299, or should I do something to properly bring it to their attention?
