Only if they don't vote to extend their terms. :) |

How about something that allows for changes, but which also allows for a |
9 |
referendum to confirm the change? |

Maybe the council can vote to change the GLEP (simple majority). The |
12 |
changes aren't effective until after the next council election. During |
13 |
the next council election a parallel referendum is held to approve the |
14 |
council decision, and then the decision is binding on the next council |
15 |
(which may have some of the same members as the previous one). |

Also - I think that the GLEP should really define the role and authority |
18 |
of the council, and their terms/etc. I don't think the GLEP should |
19 |
dictate how they operate. If we didn't micromanage the council in the |
20 |
GLEP, maybe there wouldn't be so much need to change it from time to time. |

If we want to have written policies about how the council operates |
23 |
(slacker marks, vote-by-email, etc) then we should put that in a |
24 |
separate GLEP, which the council can modify like any other. |
