[tei-council] Feedback from SIGs for 2012-08-09 teleconference

[Gabriel BODARD]

Or I'd rather say for Council to have the option to appoint someone on 
Council or outside of it (or for that matter on Board), as some people 
have been on Council for a few years and will continue to be involved 
whether or not they are re-elected, so we're not automatically 
disqualified. (Note that I am emphatically *not* angling for said post, 
just speaking in principle.)
