8 No other project in Gentoo is controlled like that. Any developer can join any
9 team without approval. It is not right that Comrel get's to choose who gets to
10 be part of Comrel. Also that Comrel can remove members from that team/project.
11
12 Either the council chooses all members.
13 The community votes for who is part of comrel, for a given term.
14 Or anyone can join Comrel like any other Gentoo team/project.
15
16 Giving one person control, unlike any other team or project is not right. Not
17 when that project and team has such power over Gentoo as a whole.
