I had to leave earlier, therefore I do not know the result of the discussion on Wednesday.

I attach a version that should reflect Bill's comment and that includes my additional ideas about the role of - the chapter votes, - the SVN trunk, and - the reporting rules based on the ticket system.

I think this worked reasonably well (with some pluses and minus) and believe that the MPI 1 and MPI 2 rule should be sufficient.
