We all need to keep a cool head - doing otherwise isn't helping anyone's case. However, it's certainly the case that having a seat on the council comes with an expectation of behavior beyond reproach. That's the problem with both the responses on this forum thread, and the awarding of the phones in the first instance.

Since woody14619, in any case, decided against nominating himself for an award, I'd like to see Estel/SD69/ivgalvez/nieldk, as well as Mr. Gil, get involved.

As long as Nokia hasn't actually shipped the phones, it's not too late. It's only expected that those that stand to benefit from the status quo disagree.
