I think that the 2% limit is about the right level for something to be "forced" onto the agenda.
Could someone clarify whether this means 2% of all members or 2% of those who have registered for the GM? If the former, this may never be possible to achieve - at RIPE63, the turnout for even a contentious issue as RPKI was below 5% of membership.
This is 2% of the "current" membership
Over 95% of the membership don't even bother to vote, they are not likely to participate in an agenda battle.
All you need to do is canvas 2% to support adding it to the agenda, it then becomes a normal process as if the EB had added it to the agenda
If that's the case maybe creating a process for the EB to consider motions with a lower submission threshold might be more appropriate (if there isn't one already)? The EB could be free to amend or reject any suggestion as they see fit and if the EB decide not to progress it you can always follow the direct route above.
I think this is the current situation and may be acceptable if there were transparency as to who proposed which items and how such proposals were disposed of...
Agree with the transparency part. J -- James Blessing +44 7989 039 476 Strategic Relations Manager, EMEA Limelight Networks
