They are a representative body. OF COURSE they should care what the |
| 11 |
community thinks. They weren't elected SOLELY for technical ability. |

Sure, they should use their own judgment as well. However, GLEPs should |
| 14 |
certainly be debated by the community before they are adopted, and the |
| 15 |
opinions expressed on-list should certainly be taken into account. |

Now, does that mean that every decision requires unanimous community |
| 18 |
agreement? Of course not! However, the vigorous debate that GLEP55 |
| 19 |
seems to inspire suggests that there are more than just a few "hold-outs." |
