I agree with that. In this case, it seems to me that 7 council members |
| 27 |
is better for Gentoo than 6, and if the Council members do not |
| 28 |
unanimously accept anyone down the list, then just hold an election for |
| 29 |
the missing spot. I think the rules pretty much have it right here. |

I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your analysis, as that is a |
| 32 |
matter for the council members. I'm just saying that rather than hold |
| 33 |
the position open, just hold a brief election to fill it. |

To save some virtual trees, I'll respond to your other email about your |
| 36 |
and Ciaran's "nobody" proposal. Good idea, put me in the "support" |
| 37 |
column. |
