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.

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?
