I see the council as the technical leadership of the distribution. |

Mostly, this is when "disputes" must be resolved and our elected council |
21 |
decides on the appropriate course of action. Additonally, they review |
22 |
and decide which proposals (i.e. GLEP's etc) should be implemented or |
23 |
further refined, deliberated, etc. Often, this involves disputes amongst |
24 |
developers over the "correct" way to do things. |
