I think that letting the majority decide on things like this is a terrible idea. Googology is a technical subject matter, and - to be blunt - a good percentage of the people here has no idea what they are talking about.

Do you really want people who think that UNOCF is well-defined to decide which new notations/numbers are worthy?

Also, remember that we have a known sockpuppeteer here, who loves to play the long game. You say that we have no way to effectively check multiple accounts, but we do know that such abuse is guaranteed to happen here. So why ask for trouble?

Here is my alternative proposal:

I propose that we create a panel of trusted members, and that they will make the final decisions. I also propose that everybody else will be encouraged to participate in the discussion of every new candidate notation. We do want everyone's input and thoughts. We just want to make sure that things don't get included/excluded for stupid reasons, and that nobody is abusing the system.
