Re: [board-discuss] Questions To MC Candidates

I attended to ask questions with others about TDC as I struggled with the slide deck/proposal documents. It was made clear during that call that non-board personnel were pesky to board members (exemplified on the mailing list later [1]) so I stopped engaging. It is my hope that the board can approach conflict with a more patient and empathetic way - we mortals care about the project, too. (N.B. This is not to single out one individual or to cast shade upon all of the board as a whole. Some - notably mmeeks - engaged in a very thoughtful, patient manner.) b) What is your personal take on a 'cooling down' periode between being a member of leading bodies of the foundation, regarding the first sentence in the statutes § 12? Good question! I share Dennis' view - leaving an appointed post to go up the ladder seems unhelpful. A post should enjoy the talents of the person occupying it until commitment cessation. If the MC exists merely as a stepping stone to political gain in the BoD then a more fundamental problem needs examination. [1] Message-id: signature.asc Description: PGP signature

a) No, but I read the minutes when I am free. b) For me, I don't think we need cooling down time for this, but if most of our members consider that we need it, I will not be against it.

In general because of the time zone difference and because my collaborative time is almost all occupied in working with the mcm-script (I mean handle applications and renewals to prepare them for voting by all MC members). But I read the minutes and, when I have some questions, I ask other MC members or directly a BoD member. b) What is your personal take on a 'cooling down' periode between being > a member of leading bodies of the foundation, regarding the first > sentence in the statutes § 12? > Interesting question. It could be in our statutes but, on the other hand, jumping from one body to another isn't automatic. We have mature and clear elections in the middle. It gives to the members enough time to ask and discuss the proposals and profiles of the candidates. So, as the members have the final word, I'm ok with our current process. Regards, Gustavo.
