Dear Mawaki, you did what you should do, and we should all thank you for your effort. Unfortunately short-term decisions (particularly seeking broad consensus) rarely work well through mailing lists. And we are all volunteers here, which further aggravates efficacy of the whole thing. I do hope more people join to help us all to devise better ways to do our debate and decision-making. As chair, I would really appreciate this in order to do a better job. [] fraterno --c.a.
