Ghee,
   I understand Steve's (and the OGB) position here. Unfortunately, Roy 
who I assume originally contributed to the OpenSolaris constitution has 
highlighted by his actions that it may have flaws and probably should be 
revisited. I fully respect Glynn for not voting when he may have a 
conflict of interest, though personally I wish he would :) If Roy did 
contribute to the wording of the constitution, then I see a direct 
conflict in interest with his use of the constitution for a pathetic 
campaign to dissolve the Desktop Community. He does not have the 
OpenSolaris community interest a heart here unfortunately.
