sort of like the president rewriting the rules that control his own power ... do we treat GLEP 39 as the constitution and all changes require wider developer base approval while all other GLEPs are laws which can be amended ? > (As a second principle, if GLEP 39 is amended, wouldn't it be better > to publish a new GLEP to superceed it, rather than revise the existing > GLEP?) i think in general it depends on the nature of the change and how drastic it is of the original ... but that can be a bit of a slippery slope i guess (how do you measure the degree of a change ?) -mike
