9 If I wanted to use these issues to gain power, I would not have submitted a
10 specific proposal that does not give me any role or power whatsoever, and I
11 definitely wouldn't indicate as I have done that if it is accepted, I will
12 be completely happy with the Council and accept it as legitimate.

14 Instead, I would make vague rants and complain about Gentoo not being
15 democratic and use this as leverage to try to fork the project. But, I have
16 not done this.

18 Instead I have given you something very specific and reasonable and
19 indicated I will be happy with it if accepted. I believe it is a completely
20 reasonable proposal and by accepting it you remove any possibility of me
21 complaining about these issues in the future. It is my effort to be fair by
22 being up-front with the Council about what I feel are needed reforms. It is
23 unfair if I complain about various issues but do not provide clear criteria
24 to you for reform that I feel would be acceptable to resolve such issues.
