[board-discuss] Membership Committee
Hi, I've been reading over the BOD-discuss list with regards to the MC makeup/elections. It was my intent to run for a seat on the MC, it is my understanding now that the elections will be moved to next year (the reasons seem quite reasonable IM). If I understand correctly there is however one slot currently not filled, for a generic deputy. If this is correct then I would like to offer my services for this position.

[board-discuss] Pictures and abstracts for members and deputies aof the board (and MC)
Hi, as I'm currently reworking the TDF website (info on foundation), I'd ask all the new Board members / deputies to send in a picture as well as some short introduction. Please have a look at https://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/board/ for examples. We are currently missing this for Björn, Andreas and (as I'm going to create a page for the MC as well) Fridrich. Please be aware, that in the last meeting the Board did agree to use our most favourite picture from the LibOCon, if you don't sent something more appropriate :) All other members are welcome to send in updated abstracts / pictures, if you want me to change the information. Please send this all to me directly. Note: I'm going to move the current fondation page (with the list of inital SC and founding members) to a "history" page, so all the information there will be kept. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It is up to the BoD to appoint the new members / deputies (if we do not go for elections). We as the MC would suggest that Simon and Norbert would be considered for such position. We had a brief discussion, if we can suggest a third name as well. We had some ideas but no strong preferences, so we would leave it to the BoD. Btw. I don't want to give the impression that the BoD needs to follow our suggestion. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Thorsten joined us in our last meeting just to say thanks and goodbye. So at this point - let me thank Thorsten for all the work at the MC and especially setting up the election tooling and website. As we are going to have new MC members elected or appointed soon, I'd say is is ok for the remaining members to continue business with just four people for a couple of weeks. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[steering-discuss] Vote for MC elections
Hello, since the MC agreed in yesterday's call [1] that they would be willing to serve for another couple of months, I call the BoD to vote on the following: == We postpone the MC elections and will have elections next year, so the next MC will be in place by July 1st, 2012. This also helps us to not having elections of BoD and MC in parallel. (NB: This is a "gentlemen's agreement", since we cannot legally enforce the MC stepping down effective that date.) == For voting on the composition of the MC until that time, I seek clarification from the MC itself: The statutes in their current draft foresee 1. deputies are not attached to one specific seat holder 2. and the number of seat holders must be odd. You proposed Norbert and Simon as members/deputies, but André also wrote, you want to have a 5+2 setup. For that, one more seat holder is missing. Do you want to propose someone, or shall the BoD come up with someone? Or do you want to have a 3+3 setup?
