\agendaitem{Leaving council members}
\index{council!members!retiring}\index{slacker 
mark}\index{council!members!resigning}

\glep{39} is changed to cover the case when a Council member is no longer part
of the Gentoo project (the reason is irrelevant).  The idea is to streamline 
slightly the bureaucracy (even if new wording is more verbose).

Old wording:
\begin{quote}
If a council member who has been marked a slacker misses any further meeting (or 
their appointed proxy doesn't show up), they lose their position and a new 
election is held to replace that person. The newly elected council member gets 
a 'reduced' term so that the yearly elections still elect a full group.
\end{quote}

New wording, accepted with 6 yes votes:
\begin{quote}
If a council member who has been marked a slacker misses any further meeting 
(or their appointed proxy doesn't show up), they lose their position. Whenever 
a member of the Council loses their position (the reason is irrelevant; they 
could be booted for slacking or they resign or ...), then the next person in 
line from the previous Council election is offered the position. If they 
decline, it is offered to the next person in line, and so forth. If they 
accept and the current Council unanimously accepts the new person, they get the 
position with a 'reduced' term such that the yearly elections still elect a 
full group. If the Council does not accept that person, then a new election is 
held to choose a new member.
\end{quote}


\agendaitem{GLEP 23: ACCEPT_LICENSE}
\index{ACCEPT_LICENSE}

\glep{23} is still valid. We should have asked \dev{genone} to 
show up ahead of time to clarify what was asked.\footnote{This may be related 
to discussions in \bug{152593} or in \bug{17367}.}


\agendaitem{GLEP 44: Manifest2}
\index{Manifest!format 2}\index{Manifest!regeneration}
\index{packages!mirror-restricted}\index{packages!without SRC_URI}
\index{SRC_URI}

\glep{44} is looking good and we'll work on getting the remaining packages 
fixed. The idea is to have it in place in the 2007.0 timeframe. For 
unmaintained packages without a valid SRC_URI but with files on the Gentoo 
mirrors the SRC_URI can point there. Unmaintained packages without a valid 
SRC_URI and without files on the Gentoo mirrors will need to be removed.


\agendaitem{The ``tr1 issue''}

The tr1 issue\footnote{See \agoref{gentoo-dev}{3d7601d0230fa7fc903b2f4bb99cb326}
and the resulting thread for the background.} (how do we support tr1 support 
properly in dependencies) will be researched to see what packages actually 
need it and a decision will be made at the next meeting. Options include 
eclass, virtuals, $\vert\vert$(atoms).


\agendaitem{Mailing list documentation}
\index{Reply-To}\index{SPF}

The mailing list docs (Reply-To and SPF) look pretty much done. They need to be
converted to guidexml and posted.


\agendaitem{Open Floor}

The idea of keeping keywords of an ebuild in a separate file was discussed and 
dismissed.
