I forgot to mention one thing I noticed in the meeting log:

15:10 <@Koon> one question is "should have it been resubmitted to dev
for discussion before we vote"
15:10 <@seemant> the latest version of the GLEP document reflects those
changes
15:11 <@seemant> yes, what Koon said
15:11 <@Koon> I answer no, since only the mandated changes are in , but YMMV

That's assuming that the changes had been properly asked by infra if the
implementation would work. Things that look good on paper don't
necessarily work well in practice. I was hoping the postponement of the
vote would allow infra to voice its concerns about the new revised GLEP.
This did not happen, the council assumed that the implementation had be
discussed with infra (which the folks for that GLEP had not done), and
went ahead and voted upon it.

This whole thing is a failure in proper communication. We are all at
fault for that (including me).
