16 Rich,

18 That's an over simplification of the *perception* today.
19 Responsibility for CoC enforcement falls on the Council but Council have
20 delegated the day to day operations to comrel. That'ts the way lots of
21 things are caused to happen. So far, so good.
22
23 You have offered elsewhere on this ML that council do not get involved
24 unless there is an appeal.
25
26 It follows that council have delegated something that they appear to
27 never monitor. That may not be the way it was intended but that's the way
28 it appears to work.
29
30 Given that that the component parts of comrel predate council, it easy to
31 see how the council/comrel relationship we have today evolved.
32
33 Since council do not appear to monitor comrel, how does council know
34 that they are doing a good job, or indeed that comrel is still active?
