Trial period it won't be, unless there is a calculable determination of what is success and what is failure in terms of "protecting" deals and there is upfront acknowledgement of what will be considered success and failure and how that will be determined.

If that was part of this motion and support for it, I'd probably be more in favor of this motion.
