Thanks to Chrissy for her contribution to this. I think that doing this via email will promote ongoing and deeper thought more than trying to do this in a time-pressured manner where we'll probably be getting hassled by everyone appealing in addition to numerous other "concerned people." Since it is a personnel matter, I think it should be private deliberation in the same way devrel would do it or the US supreme court would (since we always like the analogies there...). What we should do is have each retired dev appeal to council@g.o with a single email that describes their reasoning, with the results of the appeals announced during a council meeting. Since we'll have a new council in a couple of weeks, I don't want to decide on this with the potential of having the decision reversed shortly one way or the other. I think that would make both old and new councils look bad. Therefore, the people appealing could begin preparing their appeals now, with submission to the new council as soon as they're elected (July 2?). The new council could have a bit over one week to decide and then would announce the results at the July 10 meeting. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-council@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
