Yes.

I can't use the new types since I have to write the GLEP in terms of the
current GLEP system/types.

The current ones remain as they are. New ones should be one of the mentioned
types.

There must be a motivation. But the motivation could also be made clear in
the abstract. In other words: There must not be a separate
section "motivation" to make the motivation clear.

What do you mean? (yes, in my proposal a "Credits" section is needed)

true, by intention. Just keep them coming.

No. A GLEP should not be updated (besides trivial updates). That's one of
the things I'm trying to make clear here. It's not good at all to have the
GLEPs describing policies, they should only be used to propose/describe
changes to our policies (example: even if some country's law system is
based on the roman right you also don't get a copy of the roman right and a
book with changes made to it if you want to look at the current right).
In other words: GLEPs should only be patches or changesets.
