It's possible I read the conclusions incorrectly, but I thought that global forum moderators were made full Gentoo staff, and that, save for the practical distinction of "tree dev" vs. not, the terms "Gentoo dev" and "Gentoo staff" were interchangeable. That's at least part of what I referred to with the mention of possible restriction I wasn't aware of, as I wasn't positive about staff status, but if it's correct, then at least in theory global mods could indeed run for council. If it's not correct, that they are staff and /not/ devs, therefore /not/ eligible for council, then I've misunderstood. Apologies for the noise. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
