9 | Who else is participating? Alec was responding to your questioning with
10 | reasoning. Rich came from left field. Blackace is commenting on my
11 | response. So who else is discussing this?

13 | Not a single person has made a single post on the recently voted in

15 | subjects and sections in the bylaws. But those are being ignored.

18 William, while I failed to join the discussion in the last 2 meetings
19 and haven't been able to check what was approved, I'm also interested in
20 this point. So Chrissy is not alone in this.
21 I also note that for the few months I followed the discussion on the nfp
22 list about the bylaws, I only remember a mention to this around the
23 council election time and I wasn't aware that it had in fact been enacted.
24 My personal opinion is that making this a rule is wrong and can prove to
25 be counter-productive. I understand the reasons you and others have
26 raised, but in my view this should be left to the voters - it is (or
27 should be) their choice in the end.
