My take is that -1 votes on technical issues (vetoes) should (a) only be given when the voter has important technical issue(s) to raise; (b) be expressed as conditional: "My vote is -1 until/unless the following issue(s) are resolved"; and (c) those issues should generally arise, and be addressed, long before the need for a formal vote. Does anyone disagree? If so, under what circumstances? --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
