I agree with you on both points. However, the council still needs to "approve" it as it is a "change of policy" and so that no one has any doubts / objections later. I still insist that the election officials should be selected as soon as the nomination period starts to avoid any delays on the voting - we should never again enter an election without having election officials. - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / SPARC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHAagscAWygvVEyAIRAgJCAJ9y4V+dGWSEK9lNalPLffYvbnuYKQCgmpKt KOvj/kD0oDUn1zNVKSZm4WI= =LZdm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
