16 I suspect the only way this will change, is for a forced all-dev and/or
17 all-foundation-member vote, either of 'no confidence' in the council, or
18 some equivalent there-of. If there isn't a decent quorum, any ballot is
19 likely to be ineffective, as the usual 6% will do their usual and the
20 status-quo is once again ratified de-facto.
