5 This is the obvious answer to the question. I wonder why we're even
6 discussing it. Unless actions by $team conflict with our rules and/or
7 actions with other teams, issues within $team are to be solved from
8 within $team.

10 On the matter of calling for elections, since every project must hold
11 elections every year per GLEP 39, it's legitimate for the council to
12 call for an election when it doesn't happen. No need for anybody to
13 join the project and call for it. When I was a council member I would
14 regularly follow-up with lead status in TLPs, and have actually forced
15 elections in the KDE project in an amiable way once. No need to get
16 the big hammer of justice from the closet: just gather the people, get
17 them to vote, and problem solved. If the current and previous councils
18 had been doing their job as they should have, instead of flooding
19 mailing lists, we wouldn't be in that situation today.
