[gentoo-user] the details of Council Meeting

2008-06-08 Thread Chuanwen Wu
Hi, we try to translate the GMN to our local language,  but I found it
was really hard to understand the section of  Council Meeting
Summary, for example:

The appeals will *not* be decided then -- it's about figuring out the
validity and the process.what validity and process is?
105 minutes were closed and 57 were open-what is 57?

Is there any link to the Council Meeting or where can I get the
details of Council Meeting?

Thanks in advanced!

 what validity and process is?

What we should be doing in all cases  how it would be best to do it,
rather than deciding what to do about this particular person,
who has been disciplined  has appealed to have his case reviewed :
it is poorly expressed  not clear even to a native speaker (wry smile).

 105 minutes were closed and 57 were open - what is 57?

Minutes : what else ?!

but I can't still see the relation between your reply and my question?
From the paragraph:

Enforced retirement: After 2.5 hours on the previous topics, people
had to go to sleep and jokey's computer broke. Instead of waiting till
the next regular meeting, because of its urgency, we scheduled a
special session next week at the same time. The appeals will *not* be
decided then -- it's about figuring out the validity and the process.

I know the meeting once stopped  and was rescheduled, and then ?

You mean the new meeting continued 105 minutes and then 57 minutes again?

Thanks!

Minute has more meaning than just one sixtieth of an hour. In this 
particular case, it means records or details of a meeting.

It is all about 'how to deal with appeals'
and
'are the appeals even valid'

It got 'rescheduled' and then nothing happened, that is why we have elections 
of a new council soon .

no. That 105 minutes were 'closed' - only council members could speek. And 57 
minutes were 'open' - everybody was allowed to speek.
