I know. If the opposite was true, I would have raised hell about it. But GA defining fees for GA is fine.

- trigger simultanous Board and Council reelections (red button)*
- adjustment of General Regulations (instead of GA; Council election rules being part of it should probably remain "protected" by community referendum)
* Could be done by simple change of General Regulations, Bylaws may remain untouched.

Responsibilities that should remain dedicated to GA:
- election of Board
- adjustment of Bylaws (which is a requirement; GA instated them and they need to keep authority over them)

And for completeness, responsibilities that should remain dedicated to Board:
- having full authority in any business activity
- hiring maemo.org staff
- adjustment of Board Regulations
All these changes are welcome. Especially the one where GA adjusts Bylaws and Council adjusts General Regulations, with "election rules" protected by community referendum. And Board adjusts its own Board regulations.

Except, wasn't Council responsible for hiring maemo.org staff, in the past?
