No, but I surely expect people interested in the discussion to read the
last month council meeting decisions. See my answer to Ciaran.

Well, I'd tend to lean in your direction, but read the discussion (the
original one, when teh GLEP was originally submitted) and you will see
quite a lot of people who disagree with you. The fact that you're the
vocal ones today doesn't mean you represent everyone. In fact, that's
what the council members have been elected for. To take decisions on
things where no consensus is reached.

75% of his email is about things that were in the original GLEP. Why
didn't he raise his voice at that time ?
