[CCWG-ACCT] A plea for time

For the record, I don't think MEM is perfect (and may never be) but it's
more apealing to me considering that it's the only proposal that leaves
structures untouched as much as possible (SD is also somewhat appealing as
well, owning to the fact that some powers can't be directly exercised and
require minimal structural change). May I know why you think the MEM for
instance starts with arbitration and mediation?

I am also in absolute agreement with a model built on cooperation and
consensus, as I have usually raise that as a preference in some of my
mails. However, I am also faced with the reality that when options gets
exhausted a show of hand will usually come to be a last option to gauge
consensus and I doubt we won't be exhausting our options often. That said,
what is not clear is that you seem to imply that the SM model will achieve
that better than any other model. As you rightly stated, isn't it finally
about what is documented in the guideline (bylaw)?
