Amen. Let’s not fall on our sword over a single vote.

"Luck is the residue of design" -- Branch Rickey
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.
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:
|

|

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?
