This proposal describes precisely
* how I was taught "Gentoo works" for my quizzes sometime around 2010
* how the cooperation and separation of responsibilities between council and 
foundation worked for the years since then
* and what was the basis of understanding for council and trustees elections

Thus, we are asking for an affirmation of the status quo, nothing else.
