The meeting was not secret and was mentioned by me (if you wanted to attend you could have), the discussion about changing scope and meaning went on in TMO (several times) and by me here where I said it would be discussed in the Council meeting and then there would be an election -

No one objected then. And if you read carefully, then it is apparent that I am trying to fulfill council's responsibilities in this meeting and determine if it's possible for things to make things happen that people have been asking about. There was no decision made, and at the end I inquire wrt conducting an election coming up where I expect this will be addressed by the community. There is no conspiracy or cloaks and daggers here, please move on.

Actually, it was the previous community discussion that made me raise the issue with X-Fade! I responded to community input here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=399

And one could see where he asked me to approve changes, and I declined to do so saying I had to confer with the other council members. This issue has been around for awhile, previous Councils could have went about making changes but they didn't, and you want to criticize me for bringing it up?

I'm all for a community decision on this issue. You can lead it if you want to help. The result has to be clean, quickly decided, and easy to implement. My personal opinion is that we also want a trusted community member (other than X-Fade) to get some administrative rights to do the promotions so that we are not dependent on his availability.


Your criticism, particularly of me for doing what i regard as fulfulling a council member's responsibilities, is unfair. I am working on behalf of the community, in ways that I have publicly stated repeatedly and consistently. If you have substantive input, then provide it, not petty procedural criticisms.
