It is kinda late to do what you suggest. People have already been notified that they have a week to respond to this thread. Sorry we didn't think of this before all the work and notifications because it would have been ok doing it in steps. However the three steps are here and people are responding to them.

So unless someone else wants to volunteer to notify all the people of the suggested changes and then start the process over again, I'm ok with the way it is. It covers all three steps of the process requirements that Skinner laid out. Also, other groups have been doing it this way with no problems. This way is also Simple, transparent and sequential.

I hope I don't sound harsh because I really don't mean to be. I just needed to tell you how at this late date I am not in favor of starting over. If a volunteer comes forward to undo what we have done and start over again I think that would need to go up for a vote.

Exaustedly, LS
