Re: P1788: Motion 26 - NO
I vote NO on Motion 26. I will also vote NO on Motion 27 when it is resurrected.
I will vote NO to any decorations motion unless the authors and main proponents of motions 25, 26 and 27 agree on one motion. Among other things, I hope such a motion is clear and obvious, that the direction of the directions is right not reversed, and that the decoration names are words instead of TLAs. (For any unfamiliar with the term, Three Letter Acronyms, also used for TL Abbreviations. Also see FLAs.)
