I think you and Anton are trying to fix different issues. I would propose
to run independent votes over Anton's proposal and your proposal, in no
particular order.

For your proposal, if you want the GA to vote on it, would it be possible
to please more specifically define "soon"? Does it mean "ever"? Or within
what time period? Or is the period irrelevant and is the intention of
desiring to work at the company at the point the conflict takes place more
relevant?

Thanks,
