One Small Step for Man... (A Collaborative TL)

I'd like to propose a system to hopefully rein in the inconsistency that these collaborative timelines sometimes face. If you propose a Major Event, you need multiple contributors to back it before the event is accepted as canon. Major Events include, but are not limited to...

-The results of any United States presidential election (with the sole exception of the one described in the OP), and the accession of anyone to the leadership of the USSR.

-The assassination, or otherwise untimely demise, of any major political figure.

-A war directly involving one or more major powers.

Thoughts?

Let's do that! We had done so in "Peace in Our Time", where an assassination/car accident/plane crash by a politician had to be backed by three pro-votes until the person was dead.

EDIT: But let's limit Major Events to those three categories, and not include much more.

Proposal for three Major Events:

August 13, 1970: Just as Willy Brandt is being driven from the airport (he has jst signed the Moscow Treaty) to the Bundestag, the RAF kidnap him and his foreign minister Walter Scheel.

October 11, 1970: As the new government does not want to fulfill the RAF's demands, Willy Brandt is "executed".

December 3, 1970: As Helmut Schmidt, now Chancellor of Germany is holding a speech about the relations between East and West, the FRG and the GDR he is killed by the Ulrike Meinhof command, a section of the RAF.

It is near enough impossible to see German security to stuff up twice in less than six months losing to Chancellors . If you made the second attempt a failure that is a different matter

Any other opinions? There was, after all, a "German Autumn"...
 
Why the hell is the RAF going to kill FRG chancellors first of all. Secondly the US will get pissed at the UK.
