hi

without wishing to put too much of a downer on things, here's my tuppence
worth.

Firstly the urgent bit of the request has been done, though with the
gathering over a week away i can't imagine how it was so urgent that it
couldn't be proposed for consensus first, particularly with questions
already hanging over adherence to the agreed process.

Adding new users doesn't seem as urgent that it should predispose a new
admin account being set up in this way. From a security and
decentralisation point of view, this should be agreed as necessary by the
whole group, and carry with it to anyone who has such privileges a
guarantee that the person will adhere strictly to a consensually agreed
process, with a clear sanction of removal of these if it is not done.

There are already some security concerns i am addressing with the site at
the moment so i propose that until this is done, and a process for
deciding who should have admin rights and how is decided at the next
national gathering, that things stay as they are for now.

In solidarity
