Regarding Proposal A, the Atlanta IMC was not comfortable with the speed 
with which the meta-proposal segments passed, and does not want to use an 
unmodified version of that process for future structural changes to 
IMC-Finance.   It is our belief that the 1-week discussion period allotted 
is too short for any sort of consensus process to happen on the local 
level.  We would like to add an Amendment to Proposal A that the initial 
discussion period be lengthened to 30 days (rather than 1 week.)  With this 
amendment, we will support proposal A.

The key section of Proposal A, as amended would read:

1. Week long discussion period; -Amended to "30-day Discussion Period"
2. Week-long discussion extensions by request;
3. Clearly defined decision deadlines;
4. Posting pending working group decisions/deadlines to our summary page.

-Sincerely,
Warren  Goodwin,
for IMC-Atlanta
