Do you have a personal time-line, or estimate of when you would want that to yield a result ? 1 month ? 6 months ? 1 year ? 3 years ? ;-) > But next council elections are overdue, for more than a year now (if > not two). So we really should go on with new elections. Well, IMHO the fact that the elections have not happened for years at a time in the past, and that the structure is agreed by virtually everyone (that speaks up) to be sub-optimal, surely suggests that now is a great time to re-invigorate the council structures before the next election. What greater legacy can the out-going members give, than a more open, interesting and accountable structure for OpenOffice ? ie. do we really need to delay ? ;-) Thanks, Michael. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
