As others have already explained, this is from GLEP39 and it has an |
| 11 |
historic background. The council after some discussion wasn't able to |
| 12 |
agree they could change it and as I've said before, I'm one of those |
| 13 |
that believes this cannot be changed by the council or by a simple |
| 14 |
"proposal" from any dev. Any change to this policy in my opinion |
| 15 |
requires a global vote by the dev community. |

What you and others don't seem aware is that not everyone agrees with |
| 29 |
this interpretation or with your view about what the council is or |
| 30 |
should be. |

I disagree with you, but more importantly I disagree with the way you're |
| 37 |
bringing this up. Yes, you can disagree with the current council and you |
| 38 |
may not feel represented by it. Furthermore, you're free to express your |
| 39 |
divergent opinion. But if you want to "replace" the council. you'll have |
| 40 |
to wait for the next election where you'll have to convince developers |
| 41 |
to vote in a different way and if you feel so strongly about the council |
| 42 |
work you may even want to stand for the election. |
