[council] Clarification of Comments

[Avri Doria]

hi,

I agree with this completely.  we should not presume that the staff  
manager cannot do the report.  If they can't or if the report is  
deficient in some way, which is _not_ my expectation, then we would  
need to figure out what to do next, but I see no reason not to follow  
the normal process at this point.
