Just to be clear, that's not the current motion that you seconded. None of the wordings of the motion asked Randy to back up or reinstate OMNI counts.
kokonutz just lay out his expectations (or intents) for this motion. Whether the wordings of the current motion can carry that much weight, that's open to discussion. I am on the same boat as
nsx. I had expected a more thoughtout proposal (if post counts was the issue at hand)

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.
