ARTICLE III - MEMBERSHIP The Foundation shall have no members.
So the original bylaws had *everyone* as members, and the proposed new bylaws have *no one* as members. Unfortunately, it seems to be possible for three members of the board to make this change. I urge all the board members to vote against it. At the very least, I hope the board will first poll the current membership (the community) to see what they think about the idea.
What the f*** do you think I am currently doing Anthony ???
I think you're trying to get ideas on how to resolve the issue.
yes
But
you don't seem to be acting on behalf of the board in doing so.
correct
It does not need to do any poll of some sort. I am *trying* desperately to make some of you react and help on the matter. Thanks for Sj and you to have answered.
Clearly, aside from Delphine basically, no one is interested in discussing the Apache model. My question for the next week is whether I make the effort to entirely re-write a membership section to propose the board. Given to huge interest, I am not sure it is worth the effort.
Any chance of getting the board to set up a committee with the task of recommending a new set of bylaws?
Dunno
But... one should not set up bylaws and then try to make his view of the Foundation fit the bylaws. The proper way would be to decide of what we want... and set up bylaws that makes that possible.
If not, then you're probably right - it's not worth the effort.
