Koko, I for one don't doubt that your motives were pure and exactly as you stated them. Your objective (number 3) of putting the TB on record on the issue immediately conflicts directly with being as respectful to Randy as possible. Had you been willing to demote objective number 3 to lesser importance than objective number 2, you might have taken another approach. For example, delaying putting the TB on record until you had worked out a consensus proposal.
That is true. OTOH, no consensus position has arisen in this nor any other discussion of this topic nor did/do I believe one exists. Flyertalkers appear TO ME to be fairly evenly split on this question as last year's discussion and TB vote seemed to indicate.
That being the case, the status quo will prevail. And thanks to Randy's decision a couple weeks ago that status quo is now that OMNI and CC dont count but the rest of FT does.
But at least now this TB is on record on this question (or will be tomorrow in any case...).
