Re: [bc-gnso] Inquiry: why are we voting in a 7 day voting period?

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hm.  my recollection was that we were going to go through one more  
round of revisions after Seoul to arrive at V20, and *then* vote.  but  
the meeting minutes are a little vague on this and allow the  
interpretation that the officers would *draft* version 20 and put it  
out for a vote.
looks like we have a couple of possible outcomes;

- do one more rigorous review/redraft of the charter, and then put it  
to a vote (my recollection of the sense of the meeting)
- vote this one up, get new officers installed, and fix the charter  
after they're in place
either outcome is fine with me.
