| No it hasn't, unless by 'gray area' you mean 'a few people who don't |
| 7 |
| like devrel claim it shouldn't be able to do anything because |
| 8 |
| drobbins set it up' |

| Recruitment, conflict resolution, disciplinary issues. I.e., |

Well, here's the thing... I've been told by various devrel members that: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's QA's job |
| 16 |
* devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's the council's |
| 17 |
job |
| 18 |
* devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's the |
| 19 |
management's job |
| 20 |
* devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they decide |
| 21 |
when they do it |
| 22 |
* devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they need to |
| 23 |
be told by QA when they need to do something |
| 24 |
* devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they need to |
| 25 |
be told by a manager when they need to do something |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
When you add in things that drobbins, the council and various managers |
| 28 |
have said it becomes even more contradictory. So I'd say it's not a |
| 29 |
very clear area at all... |
