Perhaps annoyingly, the answer to this has to be "yes" - if something related to structural issues, how something is to be done, etc, is decided on, it needs to be minuted *somewhere*, even if that is in the future, and in the meantime, because of exigencies of time, etc, the new arrangements are put into operation (hence no need for paralysis). Are you seriously suggesting that a committee just does what it likes, without telling anyone else what is going on, providing a note of record, etc? And you have a very odd notion of government procedures if you think that is what happens there, any other impressions to the contrary. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD! _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
