In additon: I reviewed the whole process about sending a project to the
attic again. The proposal for the process seemed to neutral text, but it
was only written and voted on for one subproject: LOOL.
The only four members, which participated in the vote and agreed on the
proposal, had all a CoI on the LibreOffice Online topic, except one. The
three members had to stay away from the discussion and decision on this
proposal,  because of their CoI. Thus there were only one effective
participation and vote on the proposal. Thus the proposal was not
approved.

Conclusion: there is also no approved basis for topic 7.

but why do you stop at this step?

if i count correctly, of the directors that approved various versions
of the CoI policy, a majority of them either have subsequently
restricted their actions due to potential CoI, or there is an
investigation for potentially having a CoI ongoing at the moment.

you refer to the decision that elaborate on the statutes of TDF and the
general regulations for foundations and entities. In contrast the
decision about the attic process was not forced by the statutes or the
general regulations but by an interest to block the further development
of LOOL inside the LibreOffice project. This decision was done by three
members with a (potential?) CoI on just this topic.

Thus you compare apples with oranges here.

And to add: if TDF wouldn't have a CoI policy the statutes and the
general regulations for foundations and entities would lead to the same
result. The attic policy looks general but was created only on purpose
of LOOL/Collabora Online. Thus three board members has an personal
(financial) interest, which conflicts with TDF's one. Because of their
special fiduciary duty this board members had to stay away from any
discussion/decision on the attic topic.

Regards,
Andreas
