And that's why I've never ran for BoD. b) What is your personal take on a 'cooling down' periode between being > a member of leading bodies of the foundation, regarding the first > sentence in the statutes § 12? The "diving" or jumping from MC to BoD is something I've never liked too much. In particular that led several times MC to run out of deputies, and for this reason I asked and obtained to have 4 of them in MC, which could look like a big number, compared to the number of full members (5), but facts demonstrated that I was right. I perceived this behaviour in the past as a kind of betrayal against the members who voted to have a member in charge for that role for the whole 2 years of a term, but lately I understood that at the end MC is also a way to get more in contact with TDF's core government and to learn how things work in it, so it's almost natural to serve in MC and then go to BoD. Obviously it would be much better to complete a term and then wait for next BoD elections, giving also the opportunity to "cool down", lowering the risk of an uncomfortable situation where the "controllers" (MC) may have to weigh and decide about or against a person who used to be among them. Moreover a cool down period helps to have a better objective and distant perspective on TDF, but still having a deeper experience to understand and judge, from my point of view. On the other hand everyone is free to resign whenever they want from MC. Let's say that this is an interesting point that could be put on a To Do List to be discussed by the BoD as part of a possible bylaw, which could include some more points. I hope to have replied in a satisfactory way, but I'm obviously available for more possible clarifications. --- Gabriele Ponzo Regards, > Andreas > > > > -- > To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org > Problems? > https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: > https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ > Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy > >
