Huh? That's what 8.6 says about a dispute *within* a Group being appealed to the OGB. Another CG can appeal to the OGB regardless, as per 7.11. > -John > "See you there" Think about what you're saying. A CG (by definition likely to be comprised of like-minded people) can make decisions for everyone and, as long as they voted properly, no one else can ever appeal that decision. In what universe does this reading of the Constitution make any sense at all? Why are you trying so hard to devolve authority over such a fundamental question of identity to a single CG? Bluntly, this looks like nothing so much as venue shopping - which I guess shouldn't be surprising given this project team's track record. With that in mind, why not just have the Desktop Group name it "The OpenSolaris Desktop Distribution"? Or maybe have the Security Group name it "The Secure OpenSolaris Distribution"? Nothing wrong with letting them all craftily imply that they speak for all of us. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!" FishWorks "Excellent; we can attack in any direction!"
