<br>Sure tjing - still, it doesn't mean, that Board need a censor in the middle. Council, for example, also isn't meant to solve moderation disputes about, let's say, TMO - it doesn't mean that we need sub-council to filter noise coming at Council...
<br>
<br>Thinking like that, we can build useless ladder of buerocratic structures, that doesn't have any purpose, other than justifying own existence. Which seems like already started, with Council "filter".
<br>
<br>As suggested month or two ago, we don't have so much volounteers, to "assign" them not importtant roles. In times of Foundation and Board, <b>no one was able</b> - up to date - to highlight any important factor justifying Council existence, other than (rather not-so-important) "noise filter".
<br>
<br>What is even more strange, not even things like lack of interest in Council from Community side (forcing Board candidates to double-candidate for Council, to let it form at all - which defeats the "noise filter" rationale!) made "party leaders" re-think merit of keeping Council.
<br>---
<br>
<br>Not that Community's doubts really matter - sadly, "leadership" will do what they want, and no one is putting that into doubt. Still, as said earlier, asking questions and presenting opinions/doubts isn't crime on mailing list (yet). Wouldn't be surprised, if last one is going to change for worse, soon, though.
