I'm just picking a random message so no fingers being pointed here. |

As a long time Gentoo user, I have to ask. Why is that EVERYONE on the |
27 |
council must be there or have someone there to represent them? Would |
28 |
Gentoo come to a end if one person or even two people were not present? |

I do agree that if a proxy is going to be used, they should be a |
31 |
developer. If it is not that way now, it should be changed. I been |
32 |
using Gentoo for years and wouldn't even consider serving as a proxy. I |
33 |
would certainly not want to be a tie breaker on a vote. |

As a American that sees his own country's government getting out of |
36 |
control, never count on common sense. Elected people rarely have any. |
37 |
If they do during the election, it disappears after taking their |
38 |
position. I think the vast majority of people here have seen that over |
39 |
the years. |
