All parties - Council, FESCo and Peter, were aware beforehand that the
council intended to publish this statement yesterday/today, and no one
expressed concerns regarding the election cycle. I sincerely hope this does
not affect anyone's voting decisions, the candidates running for our
elections are wonderful and each could bring a lot of positive influence to
the governance bodies they are candidates for.

I think everyone involved was and is eager to put this behind us, and I
agree with the sentiment that unfortunately, this took much longer than
anyone would have wanted it to. A lot of time has gone into this issue.
Council conducted our own investigations, we spoke to Peter, and discussed
this situation and what can be done to prevent this kind of situation from
happening again. As mentioned, we are asking FESCo to review packaging
guidelines, which I believe is top of their list if not already in
progress, to do. As for the council, we will be working on a policy that
can be used by any group within the project that will help guide them on
how best to make decisions that could impact another person's ability to
contribute to Fedora. As you can imagine, this is not a policy we wish to
'scramble' together, and will try to be thoughtful and clear in its
crafting. We also intend to have feedback from our community too before any
such policy becomes formalised.

This statement is intended to give closure to this issue so we can pursue
building better guidelines and policies that the project needs in order to
avoid situations like this again, and there sure is a lot to be done!
