NB: > Deputies can, to my understanding, *not* be appointed chairmen. Nitpicking here ;) : The BoD shall elect the chairperson and it's deputy among it's members. So there needs to be at least a vote on the names, and deputies cannot be elected as they are formally no board members (only in case other members leave the board or appoint them to vote on their behalf). > > Some proposed (and IMHO, we had this at least in one early bylaws draft) > that those who had been elected with the most votes should be appointed > automatically.

I'm fine with the model - jus wanted to say, that there still bneeds to be avote. > > Best is to wait until the translation is ready so we have the same > understanding of the topic, since the term chairman might raise some > confusion, but I wanted to make you aware of it already. Seems I will not finish the translation today :(. When I did my estimation I had worked on the rather simple paragraphs, the rest seems to take some more time. If I cannot give a good estimation by tomorrow, I'll call for help and see, how the translation could be split among two or three people. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
