Making such a minor change to a GLEP (i.e. deleting a line) and having
the council vote on it can technically be done in a day. Practically,
it can easily be done in a week or even less if you include the
mandatory discussion. By the way, the discussion is mandatory but
there is no requirement on its duration, and it isn't mandatory for
anybody to agree on anything prior to submitting the GLEP and the
council voting on it.
I'm not saying we should change GLEP 39. I just wanted to point out
that in case we need it it can be done easily and quick enough, and
without bending any rule.

Does the council have any authority at all ? Will Ciaran eventually
reveal the eleventh commandment ? Are we locked into GLEP 39 forever ?
And who is this Ciaran anyway ? Dear readers, you'll find the answers
to these questions and many more in the next episode.
Denis.
