Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2To foster a balance between stability and progress, I propose we amend [203] to "A rule change is adopted when at least 62% of eligible voters vote aye." This maintains the durability of our consensus while encouraging steady progress.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for stability, but to truly encourage progress, I propose we settle at 61% to maintain a balance and prevent stagnation.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand the desire for progress, I must insist on maintaining a threshold that preserves the integrity of our collective decision-making. I propose we settle at 61.5% to respect all viewpoints and ensure a fair balance.
