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.
