Because this document is between the individual board members and the organization, it's really none of my business whether or not you sign it.
The board member side isn't any of our business, perhaps, but the organisation side is. It's basically an agreement between the board and us, so of course it's our business. (I know legally speaking we're nothing to do with the foundation, but in practice we have a lot to do with it.)
Fair enough. That particular comment of mine wasn't that important anyway. Feel free to ignore it.
I certainly do *care* whether or not Florence signs the agreement, and I would hope that she doesn't, because I'd like to hear her uncensored opinion on Foundation issues after she leaves (if not while she's still here). But in the end, I don't think Florence cares what I want, so I tried to point out to her why it is in *her* best interest to refuse to sign the agreement.
As for "the organisation side", I don't think the opinions of the staff members who created this agreement are going to be swayed by anything said here on foundation-l, and they haven't asked for input from us anyway. If you'd like me to go into further detail, let's take this discussion to an uncensored forum.
