[volunteergrid2-l] Minimum node size change and change grace period duration results

[slush]

Hi Shawn,

I expressed my opinion once in email conversation and once in first round
of the poll. Then I stopped following dicsussion, expecting that those
later emails are only poll results and some following comments. Sorry that
I break your effort by my own passivity.

And yes, I think there should be some chairperson doing important decision
in more flexible way. And yes, you're my candidate. Short summary of my
attitude: do whatever you think it's good for the grid, I'll follow those
new rules. If new rules will go completely against my own interest, I'll
leave the grid and build another one :-).

Best,
slush
