[council] Considering the work of the Tasting Group

[Rosette, Kristina]

Ross,

You mentioned a short time ago that there were three steps the Council
could take now with regard to tasting.  Would you please post them?  I
think I know two of them, but it would be helpful to know for sure.

Thanks.

Kristina

What is the status of this request? I am not prepared to vote on a
motion regarding this work until I can consider the report with the
benefit of these answers.

It does not make sense for us to consider developing new policy if we
have existing terms on the books that can otherwise deal with the
behaviors we are concerned with.
