Perhaps I missed the discussion of this on last week’s call, but is this ballot currently in the voting period or did it get held up at some point? It has a number and sponsors and we appear to have had some brief discussion on the list about it, but I’ve literally seen no one vote for it, so I’m wondering if it’s stuck and the discussion/voting period dates should be adjusted, or if no one has submitted a vote on it yet. :)
