Yes, the bylaws and rules need to be changes to avoid the abuse of loopholes which allow people to act outside of the will of the community, and I hope to see this happen. But more to the point, what I saw in Gambia was a huge amount of factionalization and large political undercurrents that distract from the real issues.
