The process had serious flaws from the get-go. The survey had no clear aim, multiple major statistical issues and as such was unable to produce any sort of reliable results. Multiple people pointed out those flaws in the beginning of the process, but they did not get corrected anyway by those in charge. The reason they gave was that this was only supposed to be the beginning of the process and it would give a very rough overview with a more refined process to be added later. However, at some point, we received a "final" report for the process that had a lot of claims in it that were not supported by the available data at all. By that point, the process had taken up considerable ressources and so last year at the GA, we had to decide between continuing the process by pouring more ressources on it and stopping it. Continuing would have meant pretty much starting over because of the huge flaws the process had. We also still didn't know the actual goal of the process, so we decided against it. The restructuring was largely independent of the identity process. There were two major obstacles there, though. One was that there was a pad with some notes on how to possibly restructure the FSFE, but the pad had no obvious structure and no clear suggestions. In preparation for the GA, Matthias asked mutliple times for actual motions or suggestions to be written, yet nothing happened. My impression was that you, Mirko, did not have the time to update the pad or something like that. At the same time, we had the problem of an abusive GA member and started to worry more about simply increasing the size of the GA. Happy hacking!
