Re: [802SEC] Potential EC Motion
Just to add a little fat to the fire...
In my opinion it is questionable whether it is necessary or advisable to
have to always include the full details on the grandfathering (or lack
thereof) on the text that we put into the P&P.
Our P&P are cumbersome enough as it is.
I'll argue that we "should" should be able to take care of grandfather
issues by motion.
