Re: dangerous motion 35



P1788,

Yes, I think Motion 35 is the point at which we decide
   a) P1788 is about traditional intervals only
OR
   b) P1788 includes multiple flavors

A vote FOR Motion 35 seems clearly endorsing b)

A vote NO on Motion 35 requires a "What would it take to get me to vote YES" to be unambiguous.
