A tie, with a decision to revisit next meeting- the next meeting it 
was decided that yes, g55 is addressing what can be considered a real 
issue.  And in the 14 months since then, no one has requested it be 
voted on, or revisited.

That's the thing; the quibbling in details is lovely, as is the 
repeated rehashing of the same technical matter, over and over, but 
the path required to get it approved is established.

Push it to the council and ask for a vote.  They drop it from their 
plate, push it back to the council again.  That route at least has the 
chance of being productive.  Hell, run for council if you're tired of 
them dropping things.

Instead we've got continual sniping over the damned glep instead of 
taking the proactive steps.  Either way, unless I get beat down by 
the other council members this will be on the next council agenda.

If it can be squeezed into the coming monday meeting, I'd prefer it, 
but it's short notice I realize.
