I think I have been clear on the problems, but I can try to be more clear. |

The Council are Gentoo developers who are voted upon by Gentoo developers, |
| 10 |
and there is no clear accountability to any outside group. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
There are severe behavioral problems on the Council right now. There is a |
| 13 |
lack of enforcement of behavioral standards upon Council members, even |
| 14 |
though the Council is in theory responsible for defining these standards. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I think the responses to my proposal demonstrate that the Gentoo developer |
| 17 |
culture is isolated and protective of its own interests, not interested in |
| 18 |
accountability (no responses saying "yes, Council members *should* indeed |
| 19 |
be held to the same standards they hold others" -- isn't this obvious?), |
| 20 |
and in need of reform. |

Best, |
