+
+A lengthy discussion on the merits of deprecating herds and on how to
+precisely do that resulted. The suggestion to use GUIDs for project
+identification was dismissed as slightly impractical, even though they
+provide for a near-unlimited number of projects.
+
+Vote A: 
+The concept of "herds" is abandoned, and the usage of the term 
+deprecated. As a replacement, a package may be maintained by a 
+project.
+7 yes, unanimous
+
+Vote B: do we want 
+  a) "<project>bla</project>" or 
+  b) "<maintainer><project>bla</project></maintainer>" or 
+  c) "<maintainer type="project">bla</maintainer>" or 
+  d) "<maintainer><email>bla@gentoo.org</email></maintainer>" ?
+3x a, 2x c, 2x d
+
+This led to a discussion on the meaning of the vote outcome, and it 
+was decided to re-formulate the question into several votes. 
+
+Vote C: New <project> tag, or add something to existing <maintainer> 
+tag?
+4x project and 3x maintainer
+
+Vote D: what goes into the <project> tag?  a project shortname or an 
+e-mail address?
+4x shortname, 1x e-mail, 2x abstain
+
+Vote E: do we want a 1:1 mapping of a new e-mail address to the 
+project shortname?
+4 yes, 2 no
+
+Vote F: define the project shortname on the wiki project page, and 
+expect that any project is *also* reachable as 
+shortname@proj.gentoo.org
+4 yes, 2 abstain
+
+After these decisions several council members stated that things were 
+going the wrong way and that they would like to change their votes for 
+earlier decisions, thereby making latter decisions obsolete. As a 
+consequence, it was suggested to scrap the just-made decisions again 
+and request a GLEP on the issue.
+
+Vote: "All votes today from B on are anulled. The council recommends 
+that the details on herds to projects transition should be worked out 
+in a GLEP."
+6 yes, 1 abstain
+
+
+2. Open bugs with council participation
+=================
+
+https://bugs.gentoo.org/503382 "Missing summaries for 20131210, 
+20140114, and 20140225 council meetings"
+
+Ulm stated that the 20131210 summary has been written and submitted, 
+and minor corrections were suggested.
+
+
+3. Open floor
+=================
+
+No issues were brought up.
