Somy — I noted in my last post that anjo mentioned this policy, but that's not what's written in the law.

In essence, the Assembly is being asking to make a law that says "OWL solely dictates the delegate's vote" and then arguing that it's OK because OWL has a policy we're arguing for. But, OWL currently has sole discretion on their policies, so this could change whenever under the law we are being asked to pass.

Can't we alter the proposal to say that the delegate is allowed to change the vote if the majority of the voting public is different than the OWL dictate? That seems like a simple alteration.

I don't think any of us are against using OWL to influence and push the vote early, but we all just want the reassurance we won't be making it illegal for the delegate to vote with the majority of the region.

As an aside: I'm getting the feeling that the current MO of the Assembly is to push through original proposals rather that alter proposals based on feedback being given in the thread. I don't think it's a generally helpful mode for the Assembly to operate in and I hope we remain open to changes to our proposals.
