Re: Legal advice regarding the NEW queue



I seemed to remember we retain actual outside council last i knew. Is that still the case?

This request ought to come from the ftp team if we do do this, fwiw

Thanks for this information, Jonathan.

I would volunteer for gathering and formulating questions and asking
them to Aaron Williamson.

I suggest the best would be to start with an IRC or video call session
for everyone interested to formulate a "call for questions to ask",
looking through the questions and formulating a document we can send
to Aaron Williamson. Then we can discuss the question in a video call,
and again formulate a document with the answers from Aaron Williamson.
The next step would then probably be a GR.

However I am currently in my exam phase until February 14th, but after
this I have quite a lot of time.

Regards,
Stephan
