Since this proposal was made 10 days ago, it's appropriate to review
the timelines and procedures regarding voting on it.

There's a two-week discussion period prior to any vote.  After that,
the proposer may post a final wording and ask that it be voted on,
or may elect not to bring it to a vote.  The vote takes place over
a period of 10 days.  The proposal passes if a majority of those
members who vote cast a ballot in favor.

The earliest that voting could begin on this proposal is January 23.
