-===== TC RESOLUTION BEGINS =====
-
-1. The Debian Technical Committee hereby exercises its power in
- 4.2(1)/A.2(1) of the Debian Constitution to call for a vote
- on the General Resolution, previously proposed by the TC,
- as found below.
-
-[----- optional section, if amendments to vote on or accept -----]
-
-2+. In accordance with the promise made when the TC proposed
- this resolution, the TC hereby:
-
- [ proposes the following amendment, which the TC
- however does not accept, so that the amendment will
- be voted on as a separate option on the ballot: ]
-
- [ proposes the following amendment, and immediately
- accepts it, so that only the amended text will be
- voted on: ]
-
- [ INSERT AMENDMENT TEXT HERE ]
-
-[----- optional section, if any amendments accepted -----]
-
-3+. Since an amendment has been accepted, in accordance with section
- A.2(4) of the Constitution, the two-week minimum discussion
- period is restarted.
-
- Nevertheless, given that the TC previously gave notice that these
- amendments would (or might) be accepted, this is a formality. The
- TC does not consider that further discussion would be valuable,
- and does not intend to further revise the GR proposal.
-
- Therefore the Technical Commitee intends that this Call for Votes
- should be regarded as effective 14 days from the date of passage
- of this CFV resolution by the TC, without further notice from or
- resolution of the TC. The TC calls on the Secretary to hold
- the vote accordingly.
-
-[----- end optional section -----]
-
-4+. The proposed General Resolution is as follows:
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION STARTS -----
-
- [ insert text, or various texts ]
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION ENDS -----

-
-2. It is not practical for the TC to vote to accept/reject individual
- amendments to the GR proposal. The TC would wish to delegate its
- power to accept amendments, to avoid needing the collection of
- sponsors for uncontroversial changes. However the Secretary has
- advised that this is not constitutionally acceptable.
-
- Therefore, to achieve roughly the same effect, the TC makes the
- following promise. If any TC member gives notice that the TC
- accepts an amendment, then at least one of the following will
- happen:
-
- (a) the TC will use its own power under A.1(1) to arrange that
- the amendment appears on the GR ballot as an option;
-
- (b) the TC will use its power under A.1(1) to propose and
- its power under A.1(2) to accept the amendment, so that
- the amendment is incorporated in the version voted on; or
-
- (c) A member of the TC will publicly notify the amendment's
- proposer that the amendment will not be accepted after all.
- In this case TC will wait at least 7 more days before calling
- for a vote, to give time for the amendment's proposer to
- collect sponsors.
