Despite leaving the voting open an extra 4 days, no further votes on the issue have been forthcoming.

I would really have liked a more representative sample than 11 votes and a spoiled ballot (LVF). That not even the umpire expressed an opinion disappoints me, I don't often put things up for vote and when I do it would be nice if all members exercised their vote.

In any event, by 7 votes to 3 option 1 wins out over option 2 with no votes for option 3.

I will therefore amend the rules accordingly, option one becoming the new rule in this matter.
