Forest,

Oops, guess I had the wrong quota method in mind. I think 
there was another Demorep proposal that was named by you, 
and defined as Approval with 50% quota. Or maybe that was 
yet another variation. Too tired to go checking the archives 
right now.

If it isn't named yet, it would be logical to name it AMA by 
dropping the "C": Approval quota -> Most Approval.
