Back when we voted on the new metastructure I read the GLEP as meaning |
22 |
the regularly scheduled meeting. However, since ciaranm wrote the |
23 |
proposal and has stated that he clearly meant it to be any meeting at |
24 |
all, then I guess it means it is time for an election. However, I still |
25 |
would like the intent of the GLEP clarified. If I can misread the |
26 |
intent of the GLEP, then so can others as well. |

As far as miscommunication for holding the meeting, I am giving the |
29 |
council the benefit of the doubt based upon Donnie's intial email. |
