I agree with both Bill and Steve. However, I think that it might be more useful
if the 60/40 rule was worded so that it applied only to adding things to the
standard. In fact, I think it should be retroactive, meaning that all second
votes which have already passed but do not meet the stricter requirements
should be voted on again. I can think of only one specific example where this
would be needed - for the most part, we had very solid majorities at the last
meeting.
What *should* the policy be for removing things from the standard? If a motion
is made to delete some text, do we need a 60% majority to keep it in or do we
need a 60% majority to pass the motion?
