agenda item: "We demand" vs. "we (insist, submit, etc.)"

[Paul Walmsley <paul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At our last meeting, the group decided that we would leave the beginning 
of the second paragraph of the position statement alone.  This is the part 
that begins with "We demand ...".

A day or two ago, someone edited the position statement on the web site to
change the "We demand" to "we submit."  Our position statement is the
closest thing we have to a group document, as it has been approved by
rough consensus.  Since the group did not approve the change to "we
submit,"  I backed out the change, so the statement reads "we demand"
again.

Clearly, the language here is of some concern to several people.  I
suggest, therefore, that tonight, we again bring up the issue of changing
this "demand" to something calmer.

thoughts?
