There has been an ongoing issue with the Accounts Team (Baris can sum
it up more concisely than I can) which never did get formally written
to any list (or if I know correctly privately on mail). Creation of
Accounts for the LDAP is (rightly so too) not what MC does and all we
have done is keep on pegging away at this issue.

I could not agree more and I'd say I am ashamed about this happening.
One of the reasons we were happy with the new members to the MC was
the notion of inclusiveness which we wanted to take much beyond token
"names on the board". This, has not happened. And however much we say
that MC could not push things beyond their control, it has happened
and in some small way we are also part of it.
