Nate, Baker , Officers
I'm going to send this round the officers for their views on procedure.

It seems to me that under Roberts' rules there is a tailor-made way to handle this. You propose the above change as an Amendment. You will obviously kick off the discussion with your reasons for the change. Whichever way the vote goes on that, I will accept the democratic result and would be happy for one of us to be proposer and the other be second on the (amended or unamended) motion. Will you agree the same?
(I'm not sure: if the amendment goes Nate's way, does he become the owner of the amended motion?)
