Everyone is free to post her/his opinion. If someone does not do so, then we cannot know her/his opinion. That's just life. Generally speaking, a problem might be the speed of some discussions. If someone goes on holidays for say 14 days without looking on EUforum, then it might happen that there will be made some decisions without her/him. That's not actually democratic. <snip> > The first range of questions will be posted shortly. The vote will be open as > long as it seems fruitful.

So I'd like to suggest to provide for all answers the following additional options: - I don't care. - I want more information/discussion. > I'll allow whatever time it takes.
