"The regular ordinances may be overruled *for a single round* if a proposal is posted to do
so and said proposal receives a two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the members voting on
that proposal **within three (3) days after the posting of that proposal.**"

Note the two different time scales I have added emphasis to.  The first applies to the
effects of the proposal, the second to the voting on the proposal.  The two are fully
distinct.

The restriction on effects is that a temporary override of the R.O.'s must have its effects
last for only the round in question.  But there is no restriction that the proposal must be
proposed during the round in question.  We could, if we chose, pass a proposal now that would
modify the R.O.'s for the duration of (only) Round 256, if we wanted to.
