In light of this, I'm going to suspend the vote, so we can get that
drafted and reviewed on the board list. Then we will work with Adam to
get that info written up and we and resume.  Adman, thx for the working
with us, mom is the first one with the full board assembled so you are
helping us get the kinks out of the process and get it written down.

This should hopefully resolve the concerns raised and allow us to not
create a precedent that we don't want to follow for later project
submissions.

sound good?
Carl.
