[tei-council] [TEI-L] Changes on the TEI Board (fwd)

[Gabriel Bodard]

I agree too. I don't see how a Board statement would substantially alter 
or diminish the need for our statement, given that we're not (I imagine) 
engaging with the reason behind their actions--because we don't know 
them, but also because that's not what anyone is objecting to at this 
point--but rather at the secretive and seemingly autocratic way this was 
handled, which I imagine is not going to be diminished by any post-facto 
explanation.

But I shouldn't pre-empt.

Speak to you all tomorrow,

G
