Need to address better when a meeting is considered official (right now
it's not addressed at all, so anything is better), for the rest is fine
as it is.

Council handles appeals, there's no conflict of interests: who gets
voted in is already known to not be entirely impartial and/or being in
charge of other decsion-making teams.

Staying independent one of the other, with no hierarchical relationship
one way or the other.

If you know me you know what I do, if you don't, I suggest just looking
at my blog (http://blog.flameeyes.eu/) there it's all you have to know,
and probably something you don't care about.

Last year? Being a council member already, I'd say.

You might want to revisit your ideas, unless you expect next council
elections to require primaries first. I sincerely don't want to spend
time to rewrite this as a "manifesto" because it makes really not much
sense. I don't take an opinion _just_ for the election, my opinions are
open to anybody to see. And I did have time and interest in stayin in
the council for two terms already.

With all sincerity, your "threat" makes me want to puke: if we're being
forced to write manifestos, I might just as well reject my nomination,
as I find that just useless bureaucracy.

And no I won't be wearing a Gentoo logo pin on my lapel.
