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 |
|

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. |
