We do have a bit of a situation here. Can't really ask MD not to talk about it,
can't really ask MF not to talk about it either seeing as they've voted for it. I'm thinking
I'll wait and see what happens. If this month turns out to be a mess then I'll
suggest to the rest of the committee that we have a new rule on MF which
allows us to postpone topics at the voting stage if they're currently being
discussed on MD. Not sure if that's a good idea, it might work, but I hate
introducing more rules, and both forums seem to be going okay at the moment
anyway. The objective is to run two complementary dialogs. If one forum is disrupting
the other one then that defeats the purpose. If MF is disrupting MD then we should
do something about it. But for the time being I think we should just wait and see
what happens.
