IMHO the Council should be written into the Foundation Bylaws. Replacing |
| 13 |
and deprecating GLEP 39. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Which one of the first things wrt to the Council that would be mentioned |
| 16 |
in the Bylaws is the Council has full authority and veto power over the |
| 17 |
project. That means the board nor officers can dictate to the Council. |
| 18 |
Council remains on top of it all. Just legally declared, and with other |
| 19 |
rules, regulations, etc, stipulated in detail. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Unlike GLEP 39 Put in a legal document, giving the Council legal power. |
| 22 |
Not just power per some GLEP or other unofficial doc, being used for a |
| 23 |
purpose other than it's intention. Much less make it easier to see and |
| 24 |
understand the structure of Gentoo to an outsider. |
