Re: Motion P1788/0023.01:NoMidRad -- withdrawn

as Arnold is not able to withdraw the motion,
and as it seems difficult to vote on this motion

ambiguity, I do think  we need to re-initiate the
motion and discussion.
Thus I declare that Motion 0023.01 is withdrawn.


I will formally ask for a motion corresponding to


Just to clarify:

Are you hereby asking (which seems to me the likely intention),
or will you separately ask (some time in the future, which is
the literal reading of your words)?



Arnold's revised text and solicit a mover and a
seconder.
This should only cause a three week delay.

In the mean time, everyone, please continue voting
on Motion 19.

Kind regards

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.
