I am opposed to this change. |

I vote for members of the council, and they should have the ultimate |
24 |
say in making decisions. Preventing council members from participating |
25 |
in QA or comrel does not seem beneficial to me. |

If things go poorly, my escalation path is still to an elected |
28 |
representative. If those same representatives happen to also have a |
29 |
say in the initial decision (before appeal), that's fine by me; they |
30 |
were elected just the same. |
