I think there will be 15 minutes of anti-rewrite time allowed, and 15 minutes of pro. But there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes politicking going on right now, and we’re getting new anti-rewriters by the minute! 😉

I plan to vote NO on all four amendments, My reasoning: each of these amendments has a following who believes it will “fix” A2R. If their amendment is not passed, they may vote against A2R, strengthening our position

Great idea. If the Revisions as a whole pass (lower threshold than the Amendments), you can pat yourself on the back for possibly having helped prevent restoration of Reason as one of our central values.
