Vote on final PMS wording:
The council approved with 6 yes votes the final PMS wording as submitted on
\agoref{gentoo-project}{e6eafd6be25794ca503e0ac9d6968cd3}.

Vote to change the status of \glep{55}:
The council approved with 6 yes votes to change the status of GLEP 55 to 
rejected. Per Ulrich's suggestion, the GLEP status heading will be changed to 
"the council rejected this GLEP in its 2012-05-08 meeting in favor of parsing 
the EAPI from the first non-blank and non-comment line of ebuilds".

understanding and agreement has been built on the mailing lists".


\agendaitem{Review of the council term}

Reference: \agoref{gentoo-project}{0e09e374488d2393c6cf794e349dc614}


As suggested by Roy, the council members did a review of this council term.
Tony remarked he feels this council did particularly well on attendance. Fabian
collected his thoughts on 
\url{http://dev.gentoo.org/~grobian/achievements-council-1112.txt}
Donnie suggests having fewer rotating chairs and have them do a few meetings in
a row to improve efficiency. Jorge also noted that picking chairs in 
advance does help getting meetings prepared. Several members argued be prepared 
is very important. Petteri noted council members should be proactive and Jorge 
noted how work got a toll on his time for council duties. Donnie was bothered 
by the "red tape" and the amount of time council spent on issues that weren't 
really up to it. He also maintains the believe that innovations should be 
pushed by individuals and that the council should do everything to quickly get 
out of the way.
   

\agendaitem{Open bugs with council involvement}

\begin{itemize}
 \item 
\bug{383467}:
Jorge noted this bug was his and that the council voting results are 
already available at the elections page 
\url{http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/council/}. He also promised
to complete the conversion of the 2005 nominees file, fix the master 
ballot for last year election as noted by Ulrich, to drop 
\url{http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/\#doc_chap9}
and link back to the elections page.
\item
\bug{411069}:
Ulrich argued the council shouldn't be CC'ed on this bug and as other 
council members agreed this isn't a council issue, the council has been removed 
from CC of this bug.
