10 hasufell,
11
12 GLEP 39 says ...
13
14 "A project is a group of developers working towards a goal (or a set of
15 goals). "
16
17 Further, the council was set up as "A project ..." as defined by GLEP
18 39
19 "A project exists if it has a web page at www.g.o/proj/en/whatever that
20 is maintained and/or a maintained Wiki project page as described
21 below."
22
23 Thus only Gentoo devs may serve on the council. It makes little point
24 to allow others to be nominated since they cannot be elected.
25
26 The Council was probably set up as another project, per GLEP 39 as
27 that's the only metastructure, other than the Foundation, that existed
28 at the time.
