Indeed, and as the minutes also record, it was a brief discussion, not a vote. On the day after the meeting, Mike Godwin & I sat down and discussed the best way to implement such a policy. He recommended that a policy of this nature should not be implemented by way of a simple on-wiki Board resolution, but through a direct revision of the bylaws (to make it more permanent), and I passed this recommendation on to the Board on October 8.
Thank you. I think this clarifies everything for me. The decision was deemed sufficiently important to require a change in the bylaws, and you were hired before such a change was implemented.
