Sounds like a good process, much better than what we have now. I agree with most of the people that want to close the poll that we do eventually need to get results, but the thing is this discussion has been going on for over 2 years now, is another few months really going to make a big difference? The problem we are facing is the problem with pretty much any wikipedia discussion, it's way to freakin long. There is a reason commercials are only 60 seconds max, and that TV shows don't go on for 20 hours. Everyone has a limit as to how much time, concentration, and otherwise engery they can devote to reading random rantings posted by people they don't know on a project that they have no direct impact to that they edit for some nebulus reason of trying to make the world's largest free encyclopedia. If you go to one ANI archive that's full, say Archive 679, it comes out to pages of material, and that is only 6 days of discussion. This is not at all unusual. We are running into the same problem here. At that length it is just unmanageable for an ordinary wikipedian to follow and comment on this. It has to be cut down to size.
