Long story short - we've had enough time to dilly around the matter, but we ought to start CAP4 as soon as is possible. I know that we have wanted to sort out a few PRC threads before progressing, but the point remains that they are stagnating and are unlikely to reach a suitable conclusion within a reasonable timeframe. Furthermore, we now have sufficient knowledge, I feel, of the BW2 OU metagame that it is worth taking our first murky plunge into what are, for all of us, untested waters.
Thus the following proposal. First, we are to begin CAP4 immediately - for the OU metagame as it stands on commencement of the project, that is to say, if it were to start right now, it would be without Garchomp, and with Genesect (so, yes, with Garchomp if unbanned between now and commencement). Second, that DURING said project (but NOT at this present time) the PRC is to draw up a schedule that will dictate the order of events that deviate from the standard CAP model; that is to say that, for example, CAP5 should be conducted as per the different-tier model proposed in the recent PRC thread (hopefully by then concluded), and CAP6 should return to the standard model, and so on.
So the following two points to be voted upon
EDIT: Forgot to mention a deadline! This poll will close at 10:00 GMT (05:00 EST) on 4th September.

So the following two points to be voted upon
YES / NOa) That we shall begin CAP4 as soon as possible, and treat unresolved PRC threads as postponed for the duration of that period.
YES / NOb) That we shall, during the CAP4 process, strive to construct a schedule that will dictate our deviations from the current model for the future CAPs, so as to have a timeframe on which to operate.
