I'm not sure this is a version I'm yet happy with. I'd like to sit with it a bit and see what you all think about it. Russell D. Jones 01:03, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I still think point 4 belongs in Article 28, which is specific to the Editorial Council already. -Joe Quick 04:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this charter say something about how many members the councils have? Can we elect everyone that is nominated? How many can be nominated? I don't think we should let the councils decide, should we? D. Matt Innis 11:55, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I think since we don't say how many can be nominated, then there can be as many nominations as there are citizens. There is a clause in interim guidance that sets the initial number of seats, and there is a clause in the referendum section granting power to increase number by two. Russell D.
