Here's the proposed agenda. Please respond if I forgot something, it's 
unclear, or you have another suggestion. As before, since we have an 
agenda in advance we won't be holding an open floor.

(Mike, is this ever going to happen?)

Goal: Suggest changes. This should happen on-list. No discussion 
expected.


Can the council help fewer bugs get ignored by arm/sh/s390 teams? 
----------------------------------------------------------------- 
Preparation: Someone on an undermanned arch team needs to describe their 
workflow on-list 4+ hours before the meeting. Any volunteers?

Goal: Suggest changes. This should happen on-list. No discussion 
expected.


New topics
==========

Appeals of spb, rbrown, & philantrop
------------------------------------
Preparation: Reach decisions.

Goal: Announce decisions no later than July 10 via personal emails and 
on-list to avoid disrupting the meeting.


Meeting frequency & time
------------------------
Do we want biweekly meetings that last one hour each?

Here are the time slots we found using whenisgood.net:
	2000-2100 UTC Thursday
	1600-1800 UTC Sunday (conflicts: flameeyes, jokey)

Preparation: Respond to the ongoing thread regarding your opinion on 
biweekly meetings.

Goal: Vote on time & frequency on the council alias no later than July 
10.


as-needed by default
--------------------
antarus requested that we vote on whether to add it to the default 
LDFLAGS.

Preparation: Antarus will post a deployment plan to -dev for discussion. 
We can vote on it on -council as soon as it solidifies. (Alec, please do 
this by July 17.)

Goal: Status check with antarus.


GLEP 54
-------
Preparation: Preparation: Post your opinion to the -dev thread "A few 
questions to our nominees" 4+ hours before the meeting.

once we're ready.

descriptions in metadata" 4+ hours before the meeting. (Cardoe: Did the 
requested updates ever get made?)

Last month:

Goal: Status check at meeting to see who's ready to vote. Vote on-list 
no later than July 17, if requested changes are made.


User Relations authority
------------------------
Ferris asks: Does userrel have the authority to enforce the Code of 
Conduct on users in the same way devrel does for developers?

Preparation: Donnie will start a thread on the -council list. Post your 
opinion there. If everyone's posted in advance of the meeting, status 
check at meeting to see who's ready to vote.

Goal: Reach a decision on-list no later than July 17.


Extent of Code of Conduct enforcement 
-------------------------------------
Ferris asks: Can people be entirely banned from Gentoo (mailing lists, 
IRC channels, etc.)? Who can do it, how's it work, under whose 
authority? Are there any prerequisites? He cites the corner case of 
refusal to accept a security patch.

Ferris, I couldn't make enough sense out of your long email to council@ 
to summarize any more of it reasonably, sorry. Please send a response to 
this that succinctly clarifies any part of your agenda proposals that I 
got wrong.

Preparation: Clarification from Ferris. After that, Donnie will start a 
thread on the -council list. Post your opinion there.

Goal: Reach a decision on-list no later than July 17.
