One follow up thought - if we're considering this vote simple majority, or
super majority of participants, it's passing and we can just follow up
w/revisions on a subsequent vote. I personally would prefer we go that
route; we all need to internalize that moving forward and incrementally

Since you started the vote, it would be up to you to stop it so we can
modify the doc. I don't feel comfortable modifying a doc mid-vote, it's
not fair to those
I'm formally stopping the vote. Jon, please revise the wiki.
Good point about getting ourselves stuck into a corner we couldn't vote

Yes... it is a bit awkward. It's why I was originally in favor of

a corner. I didn't do a good job of explaining that though.

Well, it's only awkward for the very first vote, and it's not clear the 7 votes
is any less problematic, as it has no recovery mechanism (whereas roll call at
worst waits until the next roll call).
Anyway, we had 11 votes on the rules, which would be 6 votes if we take 50%,
and 7 if we take 66%
Fair point. I think using the number of votes here as the first roll call
is reasonable. Good suggestion.

I've revised the wiki to read:
