15 In what way? I don't think GLEP 39 was really intended to cover
16 "special" projects - in fact the whole point of it is that projects
17 aren't special. Per GLEP 39 I could start my own "Quality" project if
18 I wanted to, as well as my own "Developer Discipline" project too.
19 That would of course be silly. Competing projects make sense on
20 technical initiatives, but not on administrative ones.
21
22 In any case, GLEP 48 already overrides GLEP 39 insofar as team
23 composition goes, so the precedent has already been set for the
24 Council making these sorts of decisions.

29 Not sure how that is any better than just confirming a lead. Are you
30 suggesting that we can't have a say in who the lead is, but we can
31 appoint any number of sock-puppets to the team?
32
33 I really don't want to take action without hearing from the current
34 team (assuming they comment). However, I don't see any reason that we
35 shouldn't take action if there is a good reason to do so. This isn't
36 Wikipedia - we don't need to cite the right combination of policies to
37 get something done...
