5 This is not within the councils power to get rid of. The users voted for
6 GLEP-39 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0039.html which states
7 our requirements. Should it not be up to them to change it?

9 Note personally I think the mark is childish as written for the most
10 part and got rushed in some 5 years ago. But it does have some validity
11 in that it seems to yield council members to stepping down from the
12 council before returning to the slack nature that we all need from time
13 to time.

15 Re: Best times for meetings..
16 Ok so I generally am employed from the hours of 9-5 M-F PST (GMT-7). The
17 company I work for can have official meetings any day of the week any
18 hour of the day with not much more than an hours notice. I've been in
19 the meeting/council channel for over 5 years now. So I clearly have an
20 interest in what we are doing as a meta distribution, but If I'm unable
21 to make a meeting and it's scheduled in the time-frame of my work hours
22 then I can guaranty nothing. It's more likely that I'd have to be in/out
23 for the duration of the meeting. If proxy is required then I'd call for
24 a semi perm proxy of the next in line on the vote rankings. At least
25 till it causes a personal conflict of interest.
26
27 We can vote on the +m/+v thing if you want to make it official. But it
28 seems we had a general consensus from everybody that this is what would
29 be best.
