abill,

the other members of the Council acted to remove Estel from his position as primus inter pares.
that position went over to SD69.
the decision was based on Estel's immature posts and general behavior.
if you wanted a N9 or N950 freebee, you should have applied for one.
Community Award is, as the name suggests, an award for unusual contributions to the community.
the Council is elected more or less on the basis of merits, thus ppl in the Council also have already made even before getting to the Council considerable contribution to the Community.
being in the Council in itself, as those threads alas prove is anything but a walk in the park.
the CA devices have been dealt out.
end of story.
we have, as N9(50), N900, N8x0 or possibly even 770 owners more present matters to look into then chipping over a few freebees.
