The council is supposed to discuss and decides on technical or project |
| 18 |
wise issues. How can a technical decision violate laws etc? I can't |
| 19 |
think on top of my head an issue that would expose Foundation. Can you |
| 20 |
please provide an example? |

If we go in that direction, I see no point in having the Foundation and |
| 30 |
the Council as two separate entities. In this case it would make much |
| 31 |
more sense to merge them. I don't quite like the idea though. |
