Doesn't sound very "transparent" to me. You point to "problems" with advertising "policy" and you say you don't know about the council's policies. This is exactly the kind of transparency I'm calling for; a clear position on advertising on <a target="_blank" href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a>.<br><br>Can anyone from the Council discuss this position and describe the decision making process used to arrive at the position? <br><br>Regards,<br><br>Jeremiah<br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
