Team, |
33 |
|
34 |
We overdo the democratic process in Gentoo and it doesn't help our |
35 |
decision making at all. |
36 |
|
37 |
When a member of the council resigns mid term, advertise the post and |
38 |
solicit applictions from the developer pool. The remaining council can |
39 |
then appoint an applicant for the remander of the term. |
40 |
|
41 |
While I'm reforming the council, I would like to see the term extended |
42 |
to two years with only half the seats being contested each year. |
43 |
The important thing here is to prevent loss of continuity. |
