Ouch!  Seems like a bad way to make the decision but it's worked well
this time.  It sounded like a good deal with people that are likely to
be great to work with.


thanks!

Agreeably, it's the worst way of making decisions, and I definitely hope 
this stays an exception. If it occurs more often, the board has a 
serious problem.


However, from time to time people are simply busy or not available, and 
that should not block daily operations of TDF, which is why we had 
incorporated § 5 in the rules of procedure.

Hello,

The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders 
without deputies. In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 of 
the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.


A total of 2 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.
The vote therefore is NOT quorate.

Result of vote: 2 approvals, 0 neutral, 0 disapprovals.

Based on our rules of procedure 
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_rules), § 5 I, "not 
answering in the vote thread for longer than 2 business days (for 
reasons including absence and illness) counts towards approval".


Therefore decision: The request has been accepted.

This message is to be archived by the BoD members and their deputies.

Hi,

I would like to ask that TDF joins the Silicon Sentier Association in
Paris (www.siliconsentier.org) . Silicon was our partner that hosted the
first LiboCon but more importantly, the membership comes with the
ability to run events either for free or with a nice price in the heart
of Paris (at La Cantine or elsewhere).

The membership fee is 179 €. I'd like to ask the BoD members to vote on
this asap.

Thanks,

you are the one local, and thus are the expert, and I of course trust 
your judgement on whether this makes sense or not. ;-)


So, +1 from my side.

That's a distinct possibility, yes, but nothing's decided.

Best,
Charles.
