Hi,

For my own part, as a non-council thread-usurper, one of the major failures of the council has been an expectation I've perceived that everyone not on the council expects the people on the council to take care of everything for them.

I submit as evidence the recent brainstorm, where most posts were by staff and council, where the "decide on priorities" meeting was attended by only one non-council & staff person, said meeting had a couple of meeting times proposed with no response from anyone outside staff & council, and even half of the relevant Nokia people didn't attend.

The council does not have the job of doing everything in your place. I appreciate the council has some "distill community feeling" mojo going on, but I'm not exactly distant from the community, and I have trouble seeing any community feeling at all these days, so what is there to distill?

Dave.
