I agree that policies should be updated. But not retroactively.

Policy whatever that states and common sense in other cases...

As I understand Ciaran for historical reasons. But what we should do in
case less then 50% of council attend the meeting is there.

Sure. And I think that somebody should suggest council something
concrete on how to update the policy. But this does not change the fact
that what happened was at times we had different policy.

No, this's not punishment. That's just procedural act we should take to
be sure that policies we thought about work.


Well, too many mails here so I think now I should decrease the noise
here and shut up and wait for council actions.
