Hi, with the new board in place, and several people leaving their former board seats, our Board Rules of Procedure need a few amendments.
Below is the proposal (which amends https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_rules), that permits the board to delegate certain additional items. The draft text was not fully ready during our board call on Wednesday, I'd therefore ask the new board plus deputies to vote via email on this list: -%<------------------------------------------------------------------ § 8. Infrastructure Officer The board will contract, or alternatively hire if more economical/practical, resources for professional, secure, and timely maintenance of TDF's central IT infrastructure. The board acknowledges that TDF's virtual presence and web pages are one of its most valuable assets, and thus are worthy of focused investment to complement the sysadmin community's great work. § 9. Executive Director ("Geschäftsführer") Acknowledging the amount of work and time required to ensure proper operations, the board will hire an Executive Director ("Geschäftsführer") to ensure daily operations and out-of-court legal representation of the foundation, fulfillment of its mission statement, and the execution of tasks decided by the board. The Executive Director shall be entitled with certain legal powers to fullfill this role and ensure daily operations, and is otherwise bound to orders issued by the board. The Executive Director may not be part of either the board or the membership committee, nor deputy in either of these bodies. § 10. Marketing Representative The board acknowledges the importance of professional marketing and public relations. It may entitle one ore more individual contributors to the foundation's projects to represent the foundation and its projects on a non-legal level and speak on its behalf on conferences, events, trade shows, to journalists and market analysts. Contractually binding agreements require prior approval by the foundation's legal representatives. -%<------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, -- Thorsten
