Unfortunately (or not depending on your viewpoint) the voting procedure is a rule - one of your predecessors made the way the voting works a strict rule.

If the Committee - You, and your peers, have voted in - ignore the rules - You, and your peers have voted in - and just do things as they see fit then the membership lose all input into the procedure?

So do you want a Dictatorship or a Democracy?

You can't have both - which if you read this thread is the basic gist of the conversation, some folk want:-
"It's obviously wrong why don't you just fix it?"
Others
"Why are we being told to do this?"

Now we've been going for years and some bits are therefore quite old fashioned (in some people's opinion) and may well need fixing - but we have an organisation that's a quite strict democracy - so it takes input to fix it.

The scary bit is how little input - as you could have made the proposal and sent it in with less typing than you've already done on here.
But nobody does - sad isn't it?
