Might start some conversation about private criteria and not waiting for a lot of surprises at DoVs, on the down side folks may start copying really good private criteria. Might be interesting…..

Okay here is an interesting wrinkle: I like the flavour of including the quote but is there a risk that it could be interpreted as an instruction, and could compel the reveal of secret criteria when enacted?

I’m not quite sure I understand the risk your outlining.

Well, a proposal is a list of instructions, right? You resolve them, as an admin, by carrying out the list of instructions in order.

The first instruction in this proposal is, arguably, ‘For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to the light’.

As the enacting admin, how do I interpret that? There’s no precedent or mechanic they allows me to selectively disregard it or view it as *not* an instruction, so I have to try to find a way to resolve it. How would you approach it?

My bad, another newbie mistake, I was just adding that for some levity.  Should have added that down below.  BTW how do you get the nice grey boxes around the non-proposal text?

Okay, all cleaned up.
