I agree with Owen here.
If this is really something that Randy wants to bring to the table,
then I believe that the chairs have made the correct decision bringing
it to the list.
I will socialise the proposal around the New Zealand community and
bring that and my own commentary back to the list.
Regards,
Dean

I can certainly understand the difficulty in determining whether to take such a proposal seriously, as my initial reaction was to see if I'd lost track of time and it was already April 1 again. However, I think erring on the side of assuming the proposer is serious and allowing the community to discuss it just in case is the right thing to do.
