First, does a vote in favour count as a vote in favour of the general thrus= t of the document, or as support (or lack of dissent) for every detail of it? Second, I have a query about the following passage: # The language design freeze will last for a minimum 5 years after its # initial declaration, and may be extended on a year by year basis until su= ch # time as discussion of language problems, and potential changes to fix=20 # those problems, is substantially discussed in Lojban by skilled users of = the # language. When that situation is deemed to occur, the question of # maintaining the baseline, or terminating the freeze in the language # prescription will be turned over to the Lojban-using community. Is it saying that (a) the freeze will be for a minimum of 5 years and (b) thereafter, LLG will decide how long it continues, and (c) once discussion is mainly in Lojban by skilled users, LLG will abdicate its powers vis a vis the baseline and freeze? --And.
