Probably because never a revised GLEP was presented?! I think the way to 
approve a GLEP that still "needs" changes isn't acceptable. There's a lot of 
information in these lists and I suppose very few ones have the time to read 
everything, so I did not read the council meeting stuff. Nevertheless, the 
very least to expect is that a possible final GLEP gets posted and discussed 
a while before it possibly will be approved. 

Personally I really don't care about the email address, even though I don't 
understand why we should unnecessarily overcomplicate things. But the way the 
base (a GLEP in this case) of decisions get changed by the council behind all 
of us is misuse of power. Obviously this was noticed by the members of the 
council as well, but the question why you didn't postpone the decision 
stands. The GLEP process needs to be a bit more formalized as it seems.
