Do Forum members accept the philosophical principle that any ticket presented for a vote must stand on its own? That is, a ticket should be rejected by the Forum if it requires the passage of some pending ticket to be made reasonable. The dependant ticket can be merged into the connected ticket before it is brought to the Plenary session. (Perhaps it can be clearly marked as "Approval of tickets x, y, z are all prerequisites for voting this") Thanks - Dick Dick Treumann - MPI Team IBM Systems & Technology Group Dept X2ZA / MS P963 -- 2455 South Road -- Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 Tele (845) 433-7846 Fax (845) 433-8363
