As You can see from this quote, he wasn't eager to clear it. I've kindly asked again, after we have discussed other points, and had free time before X-Fade expected arrival:

As You can see from discussion, to my surprise, Woody denied to clarify it and discuss about. Rest of Councilors - Ivgalvez, NielDK and SD69, despite being repeatedly (and kindly) asked, refused to even talk about it.
Estel, did it occur to you that it was simply bad timing, and the matter, in your fellow councelars opinion, perhaps needed more nursing, than a few minutes, before a council meeting with (mire) serious community issues to be decided on?
Certainly - repeating a request over and over - doesnt mean you get what you want at a specific time. Any parent can confirm that

FYI: I've also tried to talk about it with other Councilors privately, during last week, to no avail. Such unresponsiveness and lack of decisiveness (when done on purpose) is unacceptable for me, in body like Council. I can only imagine amount of peer-to-peer, murky discussions between other Councilors, as it's hard to believe such coordinated lack of reply as coincidence (and even if so, it would mean even worse about Council integrity and Councilors moral side).
Again, I need to say, that this wasnt a proper way to deal with this.
And, no, there have been no "peer-to-peer" murky discussions, excepth those that you apparently tried to initiate with "talks with other councelars privately", at least I was not invited to that party? That also tells something about councelars individual moral, or some at least.

Conclusion is clear for me. I have my opinion, on how such "sneaky" suggestions on public Council's thread - then, refusing to say "b" latter - stands for Woody's declarations about transparency. But, it is not important at this time and place.
You sure do have your personal opinions Now you yourself refers to statement that this is not the right time or place

During transformation into Hildon Foundation, and Council becoming (this way or another) Board of Directors, such fogged, unclear and fishy things are not allowed - Council will require much trust from whole Community, as per new responsibilities (including managing real money from donations).
How the board of directors will be created, or who will be part of it, has yet to be decided to my knowledge. How can you now then start to call such a board fogged, unclear, and fishy?

Considering all of this - as said - I doesn't see any room for healthy and productive collaboration with current Council squad. Natural result of this is me stepping down from Councilor role, immediately.
This saddens me. Despite my comments, which is not personal, but intended to open your eyes and mind a bit. You contributed a lot, for bad - but definately mostly - for good, first thing getting the elections on a roll.

I'll continue to volunteer for Maemo Community where I can (and my skills are applicable), especially in projects that You all know me from best (excluding direct collaboration with current Councilors, due to lack of trust in both directions - I've lost trust for them today).
Does this mean we wont be seeing you for some time? jokes aside, I understand your frustration, and had hoped you would help yourself to get past issues and continue working for the community, as a councelar.

Despite any bad taste due collaboration problems, current Council is still our democratically elected team, representing whole Community - me included. I wish those guys much persistence in leading Maemo through those turbulent times.
Thanks Estel, you know that hard work is in front of us all to keep the community alive.

This was my last post as current Cadence Councilor - please treat all follow-ups as regular Community ember input..
Best wishes
