Agreed, but is triggering a formal vote really the only way, or the best way, to accomplish this? What's wrong with opening a discussion on this forum before seconding the proposal, allowing it to be debated and refined first?
It's important to get the TB members on the public record about as many issues as possible, particularly ones that are this controversial. This way, when the next election comes around, the members can make sure they vote for people who are representing their views.
