I suppose it just makes sense that failed proposals should not be repeated too soon. A 'no' means 'no' (and a 'yes' means 'yes'), not 'perhaps in the near future'. Some cooldown period would ensure that same proposals cannot be suggested too frequently.

I can see how to some a period of a year or even 8 months can be quite too long for some (especially in today's world). I suppose a shorter period would make more sense, where there is a grace period after each proposal, yet also the "Great Project of OpenNIC" remains reformable.

I'd like to change my suggestion to 4 months of 'cool-down' period (I previosly suggested 8 months).

As with the voting procedures proposed by Jonah, half of which were voted into official OpenNIC policy, a fixed waiting period between duplicate proposals will ensure integrity and stability. -- -Dan Q On Mon, 9 Jul 2018 21:44:07 -0700, <vv AT cgs.pw> wrote:
