The council really doesn't have the ability to just instantly vote on |
| 42 |
things outside of a meeting. The transparency of the body requires |
| 43 |
announcements about meetings, and their topics, with a reasonable amount |
| 44 |
of notice. It simply isn't possible to maintain these things and have |
| 45 |
the flexibility to instantly vote on things. Emergency action can be |
| 46 |
taken by many bodies, devrel, userrel, but the council is not expected |
| 47 |
to be the "quick fix" for things. |
