[Foundation-l] Volunteer Council - A shot for a resolution

[Dan Rosenthal]

I have no real problems with the resolution version, but why does the  
resolution version not sync up with the main Wikicouncil page on Meta?  
I think the two should be properly in sync with each other before the  
Resolution goes through, i.e., noting on the main wikicouncil page on  
meta that there will be a VC and a PVC, and that the PVC is the  
resolution, and everything for the VC is still up in the air.
