RE: SUO: RE: Motion to Develop a 4 Dimensional Ontology and include it as a Component within the Information Flow Framework.
Dear Pierre,
I am happy if we vote separately on point 1 and points 2 & 3 together.
I suggest we keep this within one ballot, to keep the beaurocracy down.
Would that be acceptable? If so I will redraft the resolution to make
this clear.
