No, this is wrong. |

During a council meeting, only council members should speak. Everyone |
| 13 |
else has to wait for the open floor at the end. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Therefore, to allow others to participate, any discussion should happen |
| 16 |
before meeting on public mailing list to allow *everyone* to participate. |
| 17 |
Having an exclusive discussion between 7 people is really not the idea |
| 18 |
of the council. That said, creating a motion during meeting when nobody |
| 19 |
else had the chance to comment on before because nobody knew the motion |
| 20 |
before, is strongly discouraged. |

That's why I am proposing to move this to open floor... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I also want to remind us of the fact that we agreed during constitution |
| 25 |
to have focused meetings [1] and I believe an open agenda item like this |
| 26 |
discussion where we can do nothing goes against focused meetings. |
