And I don't think we want to be in the business of changing policies then applying the new policies retroactively. If we do that, what's the point of having policies in the first place? And, as ciaranm (one of the GLEP's authors) pointed out, the GLEP requires at least one open meeting per month, not regularly scheduled meetings. This month, Council scheduled two meetings, and the GLEP applies to all Council meetings. It's very hard to see how this meeting was "miscommunicated" since it was discussed in the 08.v.08 meeting, was called out in the summary for that meeting, and is there in the log file of course. I think we can expect the Council members to read the summaries of their own meetings, no?
