+1 to Peter!
I've read through this thread, though I, too, did not track the process
around updating the compliance suite.
My observation:
* The Council (or members thereof) think that they are absolutely right
and their actions lie within the boundaries of XSF regulations.
* Sam I frustrated, because the 2018 compliance suite still is not
finished and change requests are still coming in. This is not his fault,
but resulted in (in-)actions by the Council. As a result he is
demotivated and wants to drop the task.
Formally the Council may be right. They did not violate any established
process.
But I see a more strategic question: Does losing Sam as editor and
maintainer for the compliance suite justify the current course of
action? Is the persistence on adding the feedback worth it?
If your answer is yes, what's your argument regarding this:

As Sam says, this means we need someone to put forward a revised suite
every year and shepherd it through the process. In olden days I did
this, and more recently Sam volunteered. IMHO treating the intrepid
volunteer well is especially important in this case, because it's a
thankless task and any oversights can be easily fixed the next year.
If the answer is still Yes, then who is going to maintain the suite from
now on?
I'm not saying we should override any processes defined in XEP-0001,
but I
sense that handing of this relatively unimportant XEP has resulted in
hard feelings all around, which is unfortunate and was probably
avoidable.

This is not about which process or person is right. This is an emotional
problem and to solve it, an act of leadership from the Council is
needed.
Please get Sam back on board!
Have a nice day and be excellent to each other,
Stefan
