Briefly, mostly for my own notes: * 2:1 supermajority for TC overrides should be abolished (seems we are probably agreed on this - speak now if not) * FD threshold needs to be >= always, not >. Requirement to get >> 4/8 voting X > FD was exploitable and bad news. * Possible minimum discussion period for TC resolutions. * Clarify ownership of resolution draft versions; what we actually did in the end for the 2nd real vote is clearly what the constitution intends but it's hard to see how this works in the actual text. Ian.
