[Modeling] (no subject)

[Renato Levy]

All representatives vote on the same day, one after another, so the chair 
cannot change within the vote call; but it is possible for the chair to 
change between a proposal is submitted until it goes into vote, in this 
case the earlier chair has to forward the proposal to the new one.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm actually working on a design for it myself.
