The silo leads are consulting with their respective groups on language, which is how it should be, and in response proposing revisions.  I?d like to see the same thing happening here, frankly. Nobody reads the PC list, including it seems some of the PC.   An issue of this magnitude should not be handled in the same manner as a council motion on procedural arcana etc.  We should consult more broadly rather than just going off what and doing what a few people want.  

I don?t see the argument for rushing, especially since the vast majority of our members probably have not read and thought through the relevant proposals.  It?s a moment that be leveraged to try to get broader engagement and buy in, and there?s no pressure to be the first silo into the pool.

If so, then why not propose language to that effect into the SOAC process in the same way the others are?  See if there?s support for it.

Misconstruction of the process.
