There wasn't any formal motion.  There was discussion both on the list and
at the first (or second) LNC meeting after the 2016 convention.  I do not
think this requires a motion and is within the ED's discretion if it can be
worked into the page (which was the concern after the new website
launched).

   There wasn't any formal motion.  There was discussion both on the list

     erase
     the signatures to not have long-add-ons per Chuck Moulton's
     suggestion,
     I normally don't notice that there's some blocked gif.  Is that
     something that's seen elsewhere by people reading? Oy.
