Hi Paolo, 

Thanks for preparing this vote. 

The following things are unclear to me: 

Who is going to vote? PSC? Voting members? Anyone interested? 

If it is the voting members, I think we need a different platform for
voting than this mailing list. If it is PSC, then yes, we can vote here
on the mailing list and summarize the decisions. 

Thanks for the clarification, 

Andreas
