BUIPs 94,95 and 96 are added to the list because they are highly topical at the present time.
Note: these BUIPs are non-binding on BU development, they are to gauge the membership sentiment.

Early Voting & Technical Issues

The rules allow for early votes to be lodged with the secretary. This is in case of expected non-availability during the voting window.
In practice, this means recording votes here in a signed format, by replying to this thread: example from previous vote. Early votes can be lodged from today, as the BUIP list above is final.

This also applies during the vote if any technical issue affects a member voting via the BU website.

@torusJKL, fair question.
@theZerg, the BUIP098 proposer, has not yet indicated it is ready for vote.
I would also make the observations that there is a lot more membership debate to be had on it, especially as we haven't seen the officially released make-up of the nChain SV client which is significant in BUIP098's raison d'être. There is also a miner and development meeting on August 30-31 which may well conclude with a unified change-set.
So, I expect it will be submitted for the end-Sept/early-Oct vote.
