Hi,

I  do not think this needs a charter change. We need well formed
procedures created by our EC and vetted with the membership.  The
charter was written to allow for such procedures to be created.  In fact
that is one of the expected products of the EC.

For today we need to keep using the previous practice 

After the EC comes up with a proper procedure or we discuss changing
practice in the SG we can change what we do. Before then it is
undemocratic and a serious breech of process, which I find inexplicable.
