STILL VOTING ON IT -- PLEASE VOTE Re: Motion P1788/0023.01:NoMidRad -- VOTING PERIOD BEGINS

P-1788,

Nate has apparently withdrawn his withdrawal of his second.
Furthermore, Dan, the formal proposer, has not withdrawn the motion and
has moreover advised that we continue with the voting.

Therefore, the voting will continue on the motion as originally proposed.  Consider
all additional things said on this motion after the voting has begun to be
post-discussion comment, no more, no less.  That is, the official wording is
as it was when the voting began.

As originally outlined, I suggest people cast votes for both Motion 19 and Motion 23
simultaneously.  PLEASE VOTE (so we can resolve these issues).

Sincerely,

Baker

I suggest the following:

1. Arnold Neumaier (through Dan Zuras) formally withdraws Motion 23.


I did not move the motion, hence cannot withdraw it.

Starting from the Vienna proposal and including the present case,
functioning as an advisor but non-member, I only propose formulations
of content and rationales.

It is up to the regular members of P1788 to do with these formulations
what they find appropriate,

	Many have complained about how slow things are going
	in this group.  While it is going faster than you think,
	that perception is caused by delaying the hard decisions.

	This question is a hard one that is at the root of much
	of the arguments in this group.

		The standard shall not support a midrad interval
		format or nonstandard intervals, beyond providing
		conversion support, approximately to the extent
		specified in the Vienna Proposal.

	It is a stark choice but one that is better made sooner
	than later.  I don't know what the correct answer is but
	you (collectively) do.  And I know it is better to lay
	your cards on the table now than to raise the stakes
	until many of you are hurt by the result.

	Now is the time to choose.

	I ask that you think long&  hard about it&  vote.

	I know that all of you have an opinion about this so I
	doubt not making a quorum will be a problem this time. :-)

	This is your first hard choice.

	Make it.


				Dan
