[council] Re: ISO clarification of "This overview should include the text of motions to be voted on at the end of this process"

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My reason for including proposal for motions in the draft report
was to give people, constituencies and the public, a chance to
comment on those as well as on the content of the reports.

Nothing in the motion indicates that we cannot change motions or
even submit new ones.  Though, personally, I would hope that any
new ones would happen because the constituencies and the public review
sent us down a path we had not thought of already.  I think it is
best, if our general intentions were obvious from the beginning of
the review.

My proposal is to vote on as many proposal as we have when it comes
time to vote.  Optimally we would evolve to one consensus motion,
but if that doeasn't happen then gauging things on the support various
motions get may be the best indicator we can give to the board and  
staff.
so I would think the answers would be:

1. no, but it would be a helpful indicator if there were a second from
   another constituency etc...
2. yes
3. no, but i think that any new motion should be tabled at least a week
   before the vote unless it really is a last minute revalation/ 
consensus
   that seems like a no-brainer to most all.

thanks for asking.

a.
