I (Ted Ernst representing Emerging Futures Network) abstain on the Draft
Operating Principles at this time.  I'm still unclear on much of what we're
doing, and how voting works.

Some questions:
1.)  What are the boundaries of our region?  I ask because I see we use
English and French, which presumably covers USA and Canada, but not Spanish,
which tells me Mexico is not in our region.  Is this correct?
2.)  70% affirmative vote is required to adopt the Operating Principles.  Is
there a time-limit?  Am I free to change my vote anytime before we reach the
70%?
3.)  Is the document we're currently voting on fixed until is passes or can
it be changed in order to satisfy concerns raised during voting?  If it's
changed, are previously cast votes void and we start over?

Sorry for my basic ignorance and newness.  Hopefully I'll catch up soon.

peace,
ted
