I said that, but you may not know the whole story here.

Reggie owns the InternetTabletTalk.com domain. He has it redirected here. If/when Nokia pulls the plug on *.maemo.org, I can understand Reggie removing that redirect. He doesn't need ANYone's approval for that, nor should he.

But I that's the domain mechanics. Of course the forum itself is another issue. Who owns the content now? Most of it accrued under talk.maemo.org.

If/when Nokia pulls the plug, the council might already be moot. I'm inclined now to cast a vote in favor of allowing the body to dissolve with Nokia's final withdrawal... and starting over if ITT re-emerges. But again, the community content issue can get sticky...

EDIT: you might also have the chickens and eggs reversed. Reggie started the forum. The council operates in the forum with his agreement, not the other way around. The council was created to support the community at large, not the forum per se.
