31 Actually, please read GLEP 39 and you will see that it doesn't restrict
32 council members to developers only. Basically under the current rules I
33 think it's technically right to be proxied by anyone. If you don't think
34 being proxied by non developers is wise, don't vote for those council
35 members next time. If we want to restrict the council to developers
36 only, we should think about modifying GLEP 39 (which should be done via
37 a vote among developers as that's they way 39 was agreed upon).
