Well, let's make it simpler, then. Does it say anywhere in GLEP 39 that the elected Council cannot change it? Does it limit the council's powers in any way? > (As a second principle, if GLEP 39 is amended, wouldn't it be better > to publish a new GLEP to superceed it, rather than revise the existing > GLEP?) For something like this, I think that merely noting that it was changed via an amendment from the Council should be sufficient. I do agree that changing it inline without such a note would be bad. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
