Since I'm the one to blame for those bits of GLEP 39... |

The wording's fairly explicit -- *any* meeting. The GLEP doesn't say |
| 15 |
that the council has monthly meetings. It merely requires *at least* |
| 16 |
one meeting per month: |

The Council is free to decide when it has meetings so long as it meets |
| 21 |
that requirement. In this case, the Council decided to hold two |
| 22 |
meetings this month. |

Looks like you don't have much choice but to do what the GLEP says |
| 25 |
and schedule an election... |
