Statement of the problem
In regard to the June 2012 passage of Referendum #2, CZ:Elections June 2012/Referenda/2, rescinding the Editorial Council’s restrictions on the importation of articles from other sources to Citizendium (Editorial Council Resolution R-2010-013), it is noted that:
- the referendum specifies a 30-day period for meeting certain conditions before the article can remain in Citizendium;
- no specification is made as to the location in Citizendium where the imported article is to reside during that 30-day period.
