Every member of the community has a _voice_, and is encouraged to use it, but we don't generally do things by direct voting. There has been ongoing discussion here on this list, as well as a session at Flock, with a _lot_ of effort to take input into account and adjust based on all concerns.

There's a separate thread about naming, and the general clamor for "council" was strong. In any case, I don't think that the limitation you're suggesting is really there — there are a number of broad definitions of council, including Merriam-Webster's "a group of people who are chosen to make rules, laws, or decisions about something". -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
