Donnie, |

The council have met monthly as required by the GLEP. This meeting is |
| 27 |
single topic about policy, it neither requires to be in public, nor |
| 28 |
does it require anyone other than -council. A closed session or emails |
| 29 |
or teleconference would be quite in order for determining and agreeing |
| 30 |
policy. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Forcing an election over this issue, is in effect, a vote of no |
| 33 |
confidence in our council |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Delaying the policy setting for three months, until a new council is |
| 36 |
elected (1 month nominations, 1 month elections, a few weeks for admin) |
| 37 |
is not in the best interests of Gentoo, nor those whose appeals will be |
| 38 |
delayed. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
While the present council would remain in office until replaced, they |
| 41 |
could hardly make a ruling on the very issue that forced the vote of no |
| 42 |
confidence. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
An election now, over this, is just silly. |
