+As suggested by Roy, the council members did a review of this council term.
+Tony remarked he feels this council did particularly well on attendance. Fabian
+collected his thoughts on
+\url{http://dev.gentoo.org/~grobian/achievements-council-1112.txt}
+Donnie suggests having fewer rotating chairs and have them do a few meetings in
+a row to improve efficiency. Jorge also noted that picking chairs in
+advance does help getting meetings prepared. Several members argued be prepared
+is very important. Petteri noted council members should be proactive and Jorge
+noted how work got a toll on his time for council duties. Donnie was bothered
+by the "red tape" and the amount of time council spent on issues that weren't
+really up to it. He also maintains the believe that innovations should be
+pushed by individuals and that the council should do everything to quickly get
+out of the way.

+\bug{383467}:
+Jorge noted this bug was his and that the council voting results are

+\url{http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/council/}. He also promised
+to complete the conversion of the 2005 nominees file, fix the master

+The council believes that \$@ is not the ideal way to pass extra

+ to the default function. It was deciced to either introduce new variables

+\agendaitem{EAPI 5 features}
+\index{EAPI!5}
+
+Due to holidays, the list of features for EAPI5 was announced only 2
+days in advance of the meeting. This gave little time for Council
+members to prepare for votes.
+Therefore a vote was conducted if voting on EAPI5 features in this
+meeting was deemed suitable.
+
+The Council voted unanimously to postpone voting on EAPI5 features.
+
+The list of features for EAPI 5 were outlined by ulm in
+http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2101/focus=2115 (bad link).
+Since many of these features appear not to be implemented in Portage, a
+discussion on their implementation is called for by the Council. The
+Council stressed that it prefers to vote on EAPI 5 features that can and
+will be implemented within a short timeframe, say 1 month.
+

+\agendaitem{Open bugs with Council involvement}

+\agendaitem{Open floor}
+\index{EAPI!when bumping}\index{EAPI!deprecation}\index{EAPI!1}
+\index{EAPI!0}
+
+scarabeus suggested the change "dev should use latest eapi when bumping"
+to "dev must use latest eapi when bumping if not forbidden by eclasses".
+He was asked to bring it up on the mailing lists, to get a better
+definition of when what EAPI should be used.
+
+ulm raised deprecation of EAPI 1 on request of patrick. Arfrever argued
+that backwards compatability is not an issue here, and that it can
+greatly reduce code size / maintenance of eclasses when EAPI 0 and EAPI 1
+are removed. It was questioned whether removal of an EAPI really brings
+that much benefits. It seems eclasses can drop support for EAPIs, if
+all consumers don't use them, which does not require complete removal of
+the EAPI. It appears some packages use build-systems that require
+EAPI 1.
