P-1788:
The voting period for Motion 59, a standard text motion, herewith begins. Upon the logical suggestion of our voting tabulator, voting will continue on this motion until after Monday, January 6 (after the western New Year's holiday).
I have attached our lead technical editor's most recent version and comments.
Juergen: Please update the on-line list of motions with this
information.
Best regards,
Baker
