That would lead us to completely new (or old) leadership model. If I was |
| 11 |
to vote on a council I'd like to get a council, not a benevolent |
| 12 |
dictator. |

I'm speaking for myself here - I personally don't want a dictatorship. |

Discussions on a proposal are only one part, but it needs to be voted |
| 30 |
upon that proposal. Having a larger council makes sure a broader part of |
| 31 |
the developer community and there views are represented in that decision |
| 32 |
making. Again, that's my personal opinion - I'm clearly in favor of the |
| 33 |
democratic approach instead of a dictatorship model. |
