       **PROPOSAL TO BE DISCUSSED**
To create a "Proposals" list which would include *only* solid and formally 
worded proposals to be decided upon, and possibly discussions; subsequent 
amendments, and votes.

This would be different from any current list where more general ideas for 
discussion can be posted without the actual and stated intention that a 
decision be made an implemented.

The discussions leading to a proposal being posted to the "Proposal list" 
would have taken place in the dedicated email lists (global, process, 
communication, tech, editorial, etc) and also on IRC.

The requirements for:  contributing to the vote; 100% consensus, 2/3
majority etc remains to be worked out.

It is the hope that if created, this "Proposal list" might help free a lot of 
people from too numerous IMC list subscriptions.
