A discussion on the voting procedures summarized in the 
\agoref{gentoo-project}{df5433a1e6cbe479462da8f5fe588299} took place. It was
decided that all 5 options from that e-mail should be present in a future 
ballot on voting procedures. \index{council!votes!by mail} 
\index{council!meeting}

Regarding present and future changes to the council structure, see the
\agoref{gentoo-project}{76311b25ccb18fff4764955db55ad0ea}, consensus was that
the new text should be a ``constitution'', which can only be updated with an 
all developer vote. \index{constitution} \index{metastructure}

Regarding the role of the council (e.g., responsive versus proactive), see the
\agoref{gentoo-project}{6009db554b00ae9de67047206c7698be}, an additional option
``Each council should set its mode of operation after being elected.'' was
proposed. The trustee option should be a separate vote. \index{council!role}

The options on potentially selecting a council lead, see the 
\agoref{gentoo-project}{3806fe4e42dc8ce013e247a081e3d4a0}, were seen to be 
suitable for a ballot. \index{council!lead}

There was consensus that such a central re-organization of Gentoo structure as
proposed here should not be rushed, with sufficient time for discussion on the 
mailing lists. An action list was prepared.
