Hi, :-) I must admit that I have great reservations about the BoD being able to change the bylaws without a vote by community members. Even the 6-out-of-9 minimum vote does not give sufficient guarantee for me. And even the stipulation that there will always be one member, one vote is not a total reassurance. I'd prefer bylaws that are carefully thought out now but that are pretty much in stone once adopted.
I think I'd prefer a community that is frequently called upon to vote, but that has full control over its future. You expect community members to be committed in working for LibreOffice, so one should also expect them to take their "civic rights and duties" seriously and be ready to think about issues regularly, and to vote as often as is necessary. At least they'll be able to claim that there is true democracy... Does anyone feel like answering me about this? ;-) David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/steering-discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
