You have my full support for that. |

I'd say the point is to decide on technical issues, not just limited to adding |
| 16 |
new things. |

A bit harsh maybe, and needs everyone involved to agree to it to work, but |
| 24 |
that looks like a great plan to allow council to actually decide on issues. |

If people don't want to play by the rules they can go play in their own |
| 30 |
sandbox. We're a large community that needs a certain amount of structure and |
| 31 |
rules to work efficiently, anyone trying to sabotage that should be |
| 32 |
sanctioned. I don't mean to imply that we need more rules (that never works) |
| 33 |
but better rules and someone to enforce them. |
