What percentage of the developer base, and/or community is required to call about a global vote for Gentoo? Also where is there any policy requiring anything to be voted on? In this case, the vote to decide if we should or should not elect a new council. Enforce GLEP 39 clause/rule/policy or not. A vote would be more out of respect, and democracy. Than out of policy or requirement. --=20 William L.
