Chris, I suspect you may have changed your mind since you discussed the<br>
issue with me on the #koha IRC when realising just how difficult it is to<br>
write these questions well.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Actually, my mind has not changed so much as becoming resolved on its own course of action.<br><br>You will remember that I expressed the same sentiments as those above to you at the conclusion of our conversation on irc last evening.<br>
<br>I do have my own "opinions" about what should/should not appear on the ballot and how those items might be best worded. I have expressed those in a general way at various times. However, I have full confidence in the ability of Nicole to arrive at well-worded, objective, as-neutral-as-possible questions. After thoughtful reflection on the matter over night, I have posted what I thought would be my most helpful contribution to this issue encouraging us to get behind Nicole and let her do what we asked her to (which was not simply to be an amanuensis). As a matter of fact, I am willfully ceding my "right to personally word the ballot" (if there is such a thing) to her because I believe that is the responsible action in consideration of the need of the hour and the good of all involved.<br>
<br>Furthermore, afaict, there is no general consensus emerging in favor of the "debate the ballot" subject.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>Chris<br>
