The specification was as follows: "If your beard is white, gray, flecked with gray or on the brink of graying, your presence is requested. No minimum length requirement. Honorary graybeards welcome (those with a valid biological reason for NOT growing a prodigious gray beard, but otherwise qualified)" At 08:51 09-11-2013, Ted Lemon wrote:

As there is photographic evidence of graybeards and it is compliant with the specification, it must be true that it is the sort of council of elders for the internet.
