Seems to me that this is an attempt to introduce immutability into the
ruleset.
At present, the 'total number of final votes that can be cast' is well over
one
hundred (given the number of players and proposals). The 'majority number'
as defined cannot possibly exceed the number of Players.

If this were to pass as it exists, it would become permanent and
unchangeable,
as would any other rule that became a 'hard rule'.

The scope of 'total number of final votes that can be cast' needs to be more
clearly defined explicitly. We know what you mean, but that's not what it
says.

BTW, I'll be voting AGAINST regardless.
