The council terms of=20 reference/charter/GLEP 39 needs to be changed to provide for council=20 continuity. e.g. Two year terms and elections every year for half the seats. This avoids the two 'lost' months every year when the old council=20 doesn't want to make any decisions because its their last meeting and=20 the new council goes into 'headless chicken' mode at its first=20 meeting. Continuity of some council members over elections would avoid that lost=20 time.

The chairman will avoid the non productive time during the meetings=20 determining who will chair the next meeting. > * next meeting date / chair > * Open Floor (10 min) >=20 > [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/utctolocal.html?time=3D1900 >=20 > For the Gentoo Council, >=20 > -- > Regards, >=20 > Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org > Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections / RelEng >=20 --=20 Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of gentoo-ops forum-mods trustees = --=-tCo5eJ1uErOOmVidVsSf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk4d2IsACgkQTE4/y7nJvauKagCgmpDOhpaG6iszw4ANteZ5+IGY 5pwAoIY3Cry+Pk3J4dZQLLHVMxzZoZ5w =KBAT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-tCo5eJ1uErOOmVidVsSf--
