  I disagree in part here.  Both motions in many ways complimented each other
to one degree of another.  How there were presented for a vote by the
GA members was certainly questionable and confusing purposefully
IMHO however...

  No the voting process is not fatally flawed.  It does need some
fine tuning.  But any motions that are put forth should be made
available for a vote if at least 2 members second such motions.
Thomas required 10 seconds, which of course was silly.

  A WG would be a good idea to FINE TUNE ONLY the voting
rules, yes...
