I strongly oppose this vote and the lack of regard it demonstrates to those who disagree and call for the motion to be withdrawn. I requested an open review process because the changes needed are too extensive to be reported privately to the author and applied privately without an open discussion. This has not happened, despite the many wise voices questioning aspects of the document and the obvious need for formal review.
In particular the portions that remove membership from Trustees in several different ways without due process or transparency are simply wrong, are open to abuse and I fear they will quickly be abused to exclude from TDF anyone who disagrees with the directors who support this motion. These are not the only problems; there are many others, which other posts here have documented as recently as this week. This is not a consensus document of the Foundation as a whole, and no attempt has been made to make it so.
If the Board majority group insists on proceeding with this misguided and premature motion, I vote NO.
This is a great step give TDF a good future as a truly independent foundation.
