> John,
> Allow me to propose a solution to the SUMO problem.

> Let us jointly propose a motion (along with any other members
> who wish
> to co-sponsor) that all documents submitted are either starter
> documents or expert contributions (which one doesn't matter
> to me) and
> that none enjoy any advantage of status or privilege over any other.
> This would have the advantage of allowing DOLCE and ESPITLE and any
> others to be considered and worked on by members who wish to
> do so - all
> they would have to do is contribute their document and it would
> automatically enjoy the same status as any other. It would
> also reduce
> the incentive for Jim and Adam to make further attempts to manipulate
> the voting and other parliamentary procedures..
>
> If it were sponsored by a several members I think it would
> easily pass.
> I just saw Jim's note about including OpenCyc as a starter document,
> however this doesn't solve the issue for DOLCE, etc. I
> assume from your
> motion that you did contemplate other contributions - perhaps
> many more.
>
> If you are agreeable, I think we should spend some time getting input
> from interested members, who may want to be co-sponsors, and then
> crafting the language of the motion..
>
> What do you think?
