[gentoo-dev] Council GLEP change from Feb 2007 Council meeting

[Mike Frysinger]

i want to highlight the change made to the Council GLEP 39 as i dont think it 
garnered much visibility last time:

- change to council GLEP 39 to cover when a Council member is no longer part 
of the Gentoo project (the reason/rhyme is irrelevant).  Idea is to 
streamline slightly the bureaucracy (even if new wording is more verbose).
	Old wording:
 * If a council member who has been marked a slacker misses any further 
meeting (or their appointed proxy doesn't show up), they lose their position 
and a new election is held to replace that person. The newly elected council 
member gets a 'reduced' term so that the yearly elections still elect a full 
group.
	New wording:
 * If a council member who has been marked a slacker misses any further 
meeting (or their appointed proxy doesn't show up), they lose their position.
 * Whenever a member of the Council loses their position (the reason is 
irrelevant; they could be booted for slacking or they resign or ...), then 
the next person in line from the previous Council election is offered the 
position.  If they decline, it is offered to the next person in line, and so 
forth.  If they accept and the current Council unanimously accepts the new 
person, they get the position with a 'reduced' term such that the yearly 
elections still elect a full group.  If the Council does not accept that 
person, then a new election is held to choose a new member.
