hey - before we go to the vote, could I propose an amended version?
I think we want 2/3 approval on this vote (rule change), and it would be a
shame if those who think the rules for complex elections are wrong would 
vote against it on that basis, leaving us with nothing.

I'll ship an amended version that says:

- this is for single-outcome votes only, other kinds of votes will be
   addressed later
- if no alternative gets enough votes to be accepted, the vote is termed
   inconclusive, and the chair may issue a new ballot.
- the threshold is 1/2 for ordinary votes, 2/3 for rule changes

OK?
