I think the best solution is the one that Eric's proposed, and which Gerv
has at least expressed some agreement on -
https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2016-November/008782.html

In particular, we have to resolve the issue highlighted by Gerv, and echo'd
by Eric - which is spelling out the ballot process. As it stands, we don't
agree that Ballot 180 - 182 are consistent with the bylaws, so I'm not even
sure that the first statement can be seen as meaningful.

And let's recall - there's still the issue with Ballots 181/182,
independent of any Bylaws discussion, about what happens if/when Exclusion
Notices are received. That process isn't clear. If we want 181/182 to
provide that clarity, we need to get that structure in place before
pursuing those as ballots.
