Well, let's make it simpler, then. Does it say anywhere in GLEP 39 that |
| 10 |
the elected Council cannot change it? Does it limit the council's |
| 11 |
powers in any way? |

For something like this, I think that merely noting that it was changed |
| 18 |
via an amendment from the Council should be sufficient. I do agree that |

changing it inline without such a note would be bad. |
