There can be (have been, and might be in future be) times when Sugar Labs needs in-the-interim-confidential negotiations with billion-dollar sponsor/ally governments and orgs or all kinds.

Hence it's generally a legal/fiduciary responsibility of the Executive Director (or similar) to consult privately with the Board in these kinds of high-stakes situations -- keeping as many as possible apprised of deliberations -- while preserving interim confidentiality wherever and whenever necessary to protect the full/strategic interests of 501(c)3 Sugar Labs. but if the vote is forwarded to both lists after the fact, it should still > be valid. > > -walter > > -- > Walter Bender > Sugar Labs > http://www.sugarlabs.org > <http://www.sugarlabs.org> > > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > > -- > <http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep> > <http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep> > Unsung Heroes of OLPC, interviewed live @ > <http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep>http://unleashkids.org ! >
