Hi Cathy,

Of this I have no doubt. I would have supported more modest changes to
the IRPEP like allowing the AC to determine a proposal abandoned by
its author, allowing an author to cede a proposal to the AC for
further development and allowing the AC to advance a comparable
proposal of their own if after a meeting the original failed to gather
consensus. There was room for improvement in the IRPEP. The board
ditched it for the PDP instead.

How many proposals would you say survive the process without the AC
changing something about the text? Keeping what they understand to be
the meaning of the proposal,of course, but changing the text? Is the
number larger than zero?
