That isn't what I said, I merely pointed out that decisions which affect 
the entire community are supposed to be ratified by the entire 
community, as laid out in the constitution.  Of course it is right and 
proper for the OGB to carry out its mandate, but making decisions which 
affect fundamental aspects of the OpenSolaris community such as the 
process by which projects come into existence is clearly *not* it's mandate.

If you have a beef, it is with the constitution, not me.
