1. To echo Tentayena's words up there somewhat... not only am I hella new to the 501st I'm also very new to the IOC and even NEWER to the Thrawn fandom and Rebels, so I completely missed the initial discussion around his CRL. But now I have all this ~passion~ to see him done justice, as he's rapidly become a favourite character. So yes, I missed the boat by a lot, and didn't weigh in the first time, but the fact that a fairly new-to-the-party fan such as myself could see so many issues with the CRL goes to show that there -were- issues there. It's not really like not voting and then complaining afterwards, because unlike a presidency, we're not locked into or stuck with the winner for four years. It's all subject to change, as proven!
2. Despite the uh... volatile reception and resulting issues following the CRL release, I'd like to commend various LMO's for taking responsibility and for giving us all the chance to make it work. TRUE we might still get new Thrawn/Rebels fans, new IOC/501st members later on with -further- changes and issues, but as mentioned, CRL's are fluid and open to change so even then there might be changes. Which is great! The openness to change and go back to re-address the situation to ensure accuracy is a brilliant attitude and drives us all to be the best we can be.
3. I agree with all of the proposed alterations mentioned above, so don't really have much to add other than "I second these things", but I consider my hat thrown into the ring. I look forward to the new draft CRL and to all of the resulting Thrawns who emerge after it goes live, after having been able to follow a CRL with (hopefully!) less controversy and concern over accuracy.
