Thanks Peter. I guess, as Rob notes, what I should have said is we
should have a similar rule for how often the council votes/meets + this
existing rule. E.g. a council that votes less than three times a year
will never violate this ruling. I know they do vote more than this, but
is the number that much higher? I think voting is perhaps a bit unfair
since that would imply there needs to be protocols to vote often which
may not be the case and is beyond the council's control. But there
does, IMO need to be more leadership and, for lack of a better term,
management of standards development.
