A request has been made for the Council to vote for undeprecating
EGO_SUM following the mailing list discussion.  However, the Council
members have agreed that the discussion has not reached a consensus
so far, and the idea's champion has not addressed multiple concerns
posted in replies to it.  As such, the topic has been tabled for further
discussion on the mailing list.

Open bugs with council participation
====================================

Bug 520156 - Give the council authority to change GLEP 39 like any other GLEP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most recent update to GLEP 39 has defined the process for updating
the GLEP via an all-developer vote.  For this reason, the bug has been
closed as WONTFIX.

Bug 672672 - GLEP 78: Gentoo binpkg container format
----------------------------------------------------
The GLEP has been discussed as an agenda item, and the bug has been
updated afterwards.

Bug 883715 - (new) Developers who wish to stay anonymous
--------------------------------------------------------
The Council has indicated that since the copyright policy has been
updated, the issue is primarily a matter of Recruiter policy.  As such,
a comment was left to indicate that the Recruiters should discuss
the issue first.

Open floor
==========

No topics.
