+1 here. |

Cut the kabbale crap : we felt bad about delaying the GLEP vote for one |
17 |
more month, and we also felt bad about pushing the decision while some |
18 |
people already complained that revised version wasn't published soon |
19 |
enough. The meetings logs are quite clear on this. So we took the median |
20 |
way, accept that GLEP with those changes nobody complained about, and |
21 |
create policy so that such things won't happen in the future. Apparently |
22 |
we were wrong on two accounts : |
23 |
|
24 |
- There were people that disagreed with the changes but stayed quiet in |
25 |
their corner, waiting for a revised GLEP to appear to make their |
26 |
comments, and that were caught short by its publication just before the |
27 |
meeting |
28 |
|
29 |
- There were people that don't have an opinion on the subject but were |
30 |
watching the council for its first bad step to be able to accuse it of |
31 |
abuse of power or worse |
32 |
|
33 |
I won't stand (mostly) alone defending the Council handling of the |
34 |
problem, we were just trying to find the most acceptable solution, which |
35 |
is what we were elected for. Let the vocal minority reverse that |
36 |
decision, I no longer care. |
