Some followup -- 
I want to be clear that the point of the "10" in the above proposal 
is only to show that there is a minimum acceptable level of support.  
Extra votes don't carry any further weight.

Following up on that:  I nominate Nii Quaynor.  I trust that 
the necessary 9 more supporters will be quickly forthcoming.
