Agreed, but then that would take time and effort that was beyond what we were already doing. I did want to do this on wiki, but frankly just lacked the time.

In several areas the Board and Council have limited powers over each other. (Being able to trigger each others elections, etc.) This is one place where it made sense to me to allow the Board to step in to settle issues in Council. This is not unprecedented, btw, as the current Council rules on election call for the Nokia rep to be part of the decision making as well.

Good catch. We should probably add that in.
