8 This should be done because we follow what was stated by us (or those
9 who were before us and we kept silence).

27 Why all council should be responsible for one? If council member fails
28 to find time to get to meetings then it's good for all if he leaves
29 council, but I don't see any reason to call new global vote. So it's
30 better to modify GLEP 39 and state that such council member should be
31 replaced using default replacement strategy, and could be elected again
32 (drop part elections about slackerness).
