It therefore seems silly, to me at least, to have to create another avenue for this ‘reason’.

I think that there is indeed silliness but I tend to think that you are mistaking from which side it is ;).

If there is another reason I am happy to hear it.

mmm, maybe showing good will to cooperate with new councilor?

Apart from that I continue to object.

That said, this is such a minuscule issue. If it causes headaches feel free to move on and create more work for someone.

indeed, it is minuscule, in fact it is not an issue at all. Glen can grant permissions easily without significant workload, but dear colleague, you replied to thread 5 times (and I can presumably expect another reply), even from you iphone, you are undoubtedly autonomous and self-fulfilling in term of workload :)
