24 My personal take on it. Is rather that we mostly all agree the council
25 does not have the power to modify GLEP-39 as is. If the previous
26 councils altered GLEP-39 and there are no challenges to it, then I don't
27 think the existing one is going to revert those changes (more so if we
28 admit that the existing one should leave it alone)
