Why such a tight time frame?</pre>

Council nominations end on Sunday. Given that none of the Nominees
have (as yet) emailed this list articulating what direction
specifically they would like to take LA in, and what their positions
are on key issues (as opposed to providing their credentials for
standing - none of which I dispute at all), this document helps to
draw out the key decision points and key strategic questions Council
2016 faces. <br>

- Clearly indicating which pieces will need to go to formal vote, either
at Council or by Special General Meeting
- And then issue another version of the document to the Community for
feedback
- And then formally submit the document to Council as a set of
Recommendations, upon which they can choose to endorse or reject
Does this seem like an appropriate way forward?

Thanks for getting that work down in a document. I have a minor suggestion.
Is it possible to convert the document to ReStructured text and post it
to a git repo, such as Github, Bitbucket or similar services, where
patches can be suggested and discussed more collaboratively?
I may be alone but I find the cathedral method using Google Docs makes
it quite hard to follow, track and contribute.</pre>

Happy to be guided by what the community wants here - if most people
want an .md file in a Git repo, very happy to oblige. <br>
