Sorry I haven't gotten back to everyone on a process yet; I've been taking
care of my mom post surgery. I have a few things from work to catch up on
but hopefully will have something soon.
Rod I don't think this voting system will work. Mainly because there are
multiple solutions proposed and your system seems to be predicated on a
single change. I do think it's an interesting idea to allow for "levels" of
feeling but it doesn't seem applicable.
Also, if a consensus can be reached with the Style Ministers involved a vote
shouldn't be necessary. There still needs to be a process and control to the
implementation of changes as well which I will include in my proposal.
