Solution? The phrasing of Rule 6 states that each PoO is selected one
absolute day from reaching the public forum.

Rule 5 states that a PoO may declare that it is dependent or contradictory
to another PoO, but clearly by fact some PoOs may be found to be
contradictory despite an explicit declaration otherwise.  Thus, the "set the
ruleset to be:" PoO with the most Yea votes over Nay votes is the one
selected, and all others are discarded?

As another question, if we're on pedantry level 11... did _ANYONE_ actually
vote exactly "Yea" or "Nay" for a proposal?
