Bels -- can you just post a quote of the original proposal so I'm sure I'm putting the right thing up for a vote?

Actually, it looks like there are some typos in Glens proposal that I can't really deal with on my phone. I'm withdrawing my motion to vote unless somew else can correct the numbering of clauses.

...

Unibot's proposal remains awful, and I encourage everyone to vote against it.

I encourage people to look at both proposals carefully and with an open-mind, instead of simply voting blindly on the basis of Belschaft's typical overblown rhetoric (i.e., "awful").

@~~Unibot~~: I imagine Belschaft's opinion is that the proposal is pretty random, in that it's "themed," but our region isn't a themed region like Balder or Osiris.

I share that opinion, but more strongly, I still believe that we don't have nearly enough competitive elections for your suggested system to work.
