The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders (not including deputies). In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 or more of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.
A total of 6 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.
The vote is quorate.
A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.
Result of vote:
5 approvals: Sophie, Mike, Paolo, Eliane, Osvaldo
0 abstain
1 disapprovals: Laszlo
Decision: The proposal has been accepted.
Dissenting opinion from Laszlo: “We have repeatedly pointed out the problems among the current and former board members, which makes this absolutely unacceptable for the community we represent, even despite the forced, non-consensus vote. The rules described are not strict, but quite the opposite: without any justification, they weaken the free software principles of our founding document, destroy the forces that hold our community together, replace the golden people’s representation with numerus clausus, and even explicitly falsify the original statutes of The Document Foundation.”
Conditional votes can not be counted. Votes must be made in an unambigious form. (Had the expressed opinion be counted as vote, the outcome would be unchanged.)
