<html><head></head><body>when i wrote "council", i meant the ESC. sorry for the confusion.<br>
<br>
the ESC had a number of discussions on the maildev mailing list. maybe you're thinking of video conference calls, and we did not have those indeed. but the maildev discussions were ESC dealings for me.<br>
<br>
i concur that the ESC needs to take proactive initiative. we have important decisions ahead indeed. would you like to initiate some meetings?<br>
