Right - surely this is bending to breaking point the existing (pointlessly over-complicated IMHO) council charter (interesting URL BTW): http://council.openoffice.org/CouncilProposal.html Reading that, I guess there is a resignation option if you have a deputy - and presumably can be done quietly & tastefully: clearly you've served the term you were elected for & some with distinction :-) > Oh ..

Hokay - so, how do you suggest we demonstrate that sort of thing ? I for one loathe all these huge top-quoted "+1" type mails around the place ;-) but - would you welcome suggesting a vote of "the community" on my proposal ? ;-) Thanks, Michael. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
