Alliance question

[Dogboy]

I am in an alliance (SE5 v1.71 with Balance Mod v1.14a). How do I propose changes to the alliance? I've tried going to the empires tab (alien head icon, with radar dish on his head), selecting the alliance by name, and going to "Alliance Chambers". I choose "Propose Rule Change", enter some changes, and hit "OK". I then see the proposal listed on the left (under "Current Proposals"). If I click on it, the details (including the proposed change) appears in the central panel. I can vote "yes". Next turn, my alliance partner does not see the proposal appear in "proposal details" and he cannot vote. He's tried clicking on "proposal details", but nothing shows up. He has received my messages to the alliance, but no proposals to vote on. Are we missing something?
