\end{itemize}

On the topic of how to structure toolkit use flags, a lengthy 
discussion with opposing viewpoints resulted. Consensus was that 
manual intervention needed by REQUIRED_USE should be kept to a minimum, 
and that users should not need to perform per-package useflag 
micromanagement. 

For approaching the problem systematically it was felt that we need 
more information on the current in-tree use cases of the flags and 
the objectives that we're actually trying to achieve by setting a policy. 
dilfridge volunteered to collect use cases for toolkit use flags, 
rich0 to formulate the objectives. Future discussion will focus on the
suitability of the different approaches.


\agendaitem{Projects without a lead, lead elections}
\index{projects!without lead}\index{projects!lead!election}

The wording of \glep{39} was found to be unclear if not confusing (it
states that a project "may have one or many leads", and that their
selection "must occur at least once every 12 months").

After discussion the following points were agreed upon:
\begin{itemize}
 \item 
The Gentoo Wiki project page template should be enhanced to show the
  last lead election date for each project.
\item
The council sends an e-mail to the gentoo-project mailing list asking 
  projects to consider electing a lead and confirming her/him regularly.
\end{itemize}
