Part of the GLEP voted on, states that the policy/rule in question is a |
| 8 |
global one. Of which all global matters of that nature fall under the |
| 9 |
Council's rule. Per section B. Clearly stated. Thus the current council, |
| 10 |
could technically do what they felt was best, and it could be |
| 11 |
retroactive. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
There is nothing in the GLEP stating the council does not have that |
| 14 |
power. Or that the current council, can't amend that GLEP or act on |
| 15 |
global issues. Even when facing possible replacement/punishment. There |
| 16 |
are no restrictions, only punishment. With them as the supreme power |
| 17 |
deciding upon global issues. Who is to enforce any punishment? When are |
| 18 |
they stripped of global power? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So a partial, incomplete GLEP with some harsh punishments was approved. |
| 21 |
Yet at the same time, not including any provision to strip the council |
| 22 |
of their recently granted global powers. Like during times of |
| 23 |
punishment/replacement. All of which was also approved by a past global |
| 24 |
vote. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
There is no requirement that any decision effecting global issues be |
| 27 |
taken to the developer base for a vote. So exactly what policy are we |
| 28 |
following here? Or not? If the current council elects to modify GLEP 39. |
