Thanks to Kavouss for this suggestion, and to Greg for highlighting it. I hope we can all consider this as a possible further compromise solution that might bring us to resolution. I know we are all committed to the successful completion of our work in a timely manner. Let's not miss this opportunity to reach consensus and finish our work in a collaborative manner. 

Regards to all.

All,

I wanted to pluck this suggestion out of the email swamp.  

Kavouss made an alternative proposal concerning another threshold between Simple Majority and 2/3 -- the alternative threshold is 60%.

Speaking only for myself, this could be a simple but creative way out of the current situation.  It is a literally a middle ground between the current majority threshold and the previously proposed 2/3 threshold:

Votes	Percentage	Result
8/16	50%	No
9/16	56.25%	Yes, by majority
10/16	62.50%	Yes, if by 60%
11/16	68.75%	Yes, if by 2/3

This would require one more vote than the current threshold and one less vote than the 2/3 threshold.  Win/win?

Dear Co-Chairs

Pls kindly confirm that you have received my last alternative proposal concerning another threshold between Simple Majority and 2/3. This alternative threshould is 60%

There has been many cases considered with that level of threshold

Pls confirm its recption and confirm actions to be taken before you go to poll

Awaiting for your reply
