Madam Chair, point of information.

The title of the proposal within the document as well as the link to the proposal in the agenda indicate that this is Proposal Y, but the subject line of this thread as well as the naming convention of the file indicate that this is Proposal Z. Is there another Proposal Y that's already been made? If not are we skipping Proposal Y?

It is Y, not Z, sorry

OK, I've organized my thoughts on this.

In its current form, I oppose proposal Y.  It's 4 different proposals with 4 different subjects.  The style - mostly location - of the last three proposals is dependent on whether or not the first part of Y is adopted by the delegates.  (Part 3 depends a little on part 2, but only tangantally).

Of those proposal parts, 3 make substantive changes.  The first part of the proposal isn't a substantive change - it just combines two sections of the bylaws that should have been one section to begin with.

I'll grant you that articles 6 and 7 should be combined; the document would read better and be shorter.  If that part stood by itself I would be in favor of it.  However, the fact that it makes the next few proposals a choose-your-own-adventure makes the cost too high.  Changes to substance are more important than the beauty of the document.

So when we get to Y I'm planning on voting against the first part of it, and then moving that we take up each other part individually.  If part 1 is voted down, that would make the next sections we take up Y2b, Y3b, and Y4b.
