Nothing is "self-governing" and always requires a legal entity of some kind. |
| 22 |
This has implications beyond what the council can be held responsible for. |

On the premise of your statement though and through IRC chats, I agree with your |
| 25 |

I am for by-laws delineating the roles of the council to lead the distribution. |
| 28 |
As stated above, some things cannot be delegated. That is, things which have |
| 29 |
legal implications, COMREL, etc. |

This drives my first comment that nothing is "self-governing" in general. |
