12 No -- it's a trustee issue. GLEP 39 is not written very well and is not
13 explicit in what it means by "global issues", but in context it is pretty
14 clear the Council is meant to address project-related problems that
15 bothered ciaranm and g2boojum at the time, thus technical problems, and
16 "global issues" are technical issues that span multiple projects.

18 And if you look at the definition of trustee responsibilities, "Oversee
19 Adherence to the Social Contract" is one of them. This includes overseeing
20 the Social Contract itself.
