It looks like the opposite is the case: the current scheme is the output of a membership based process; the message about changing this approach has clearly been heard; and even though the demands for a non flat-rate charging scheme run directly contrary to what the membership voted in the 2023 GM (which was used as an input for options in the 2024 budget), a commitment has been made to reassess this approach. Overall, this seems like a pretty reasonable approach for the exec board to take.

Starting out with solutions on the members-discuss mailing list is no good unless we understand what set of problems these solutions are expected to fix.

Very much this, thanks Nick.
