Manoj Srivastava writes (Constitutional Amendment GR: Handling assets for the project): In order to bring the constitution in line with current needs and practices of handling assets globally, and allowing the projet to add and remove partner organizations from the set of organizations currently authorized to hold assets for Debian, I would like to propose the following amendment to the Debian constitution. This had been discussed at length last month, and suggestions and discussion have died down. I would like to seek seconds for this proposal at this time. I agree with the sense and letter but have a few factual, grammar and other minor corrections, which I'd like to formally propose as amendments. I'd appreciate it if you'd accept them. I propose each change as a separate amendment so you may accept some or all of them; they're numbered 1 to 14, below. I hereby also second the proposed resolution as is, even if you don't accept my amendments. 1. Replace all occurrences of `organization' (and derivative words) with `organisation', so as to maintain consistent spelling. 2. Change wording from `legal presence' to `legal entity': + Debian has no legal presence in any country worldwide, and as such Debian is not a legal entity (in any country in the world), and as such Rationale: Having a `legal presence' is not the same as being a `legal entity'; legal entities may exist but not have a presence in a particular country. 3. Change `maintain' to `own': 4. Change `Therefore, property...' to present tense: + cannot maintain any money or other property. Therefore, property will cannot own any money or ... ... Therefore, property for use for Debian Rationale for 3.: Debian cannot own things; ownership is a legal concept. It can maintain them; maintaining things is how you deal with them in the real world. (Money does not need to be `maintained'.) Rationale for 4.: We should use the present tense, not the future tense, even though this amendment is currently a draft. + have to be maintained by any of a number of organizations as detailed in has to be owned by any of... Part of my amendment 3. 5. Insert a paragraph break: 6. Mark this whole section 9.2 as non-normative: + §9.2 + + Traditionally, SPI was the sole organization authorized to hold + property and monies for the Debian Project. SPI was created in + the U.S. to hold money in trust there. -- insert paragraph break -- SPI and Debian are separate organisations who share some goals. Debian is grateful for the legal support framework offered by SPI. Debian's Developers are eligible for contributing membership in SPI by virtue of their status as Developers. Rationale for 6.: most of this is just factual information; the contributing membership status is determined by SPI so is also informational. 7. Add a comma: + 9.1 Relationship with Associated Organizations + + 1. Debian Developers do not become agents or employees of +organizations holding assets in trust for Debian, or of +each other, or of persons in authority in the Debian Project ...in the Debian Project, +solely by the virtue of being Debian Developers.

Apostrophe correction: + authority within such an organization, subject to the + organizations decision and rules. organisation's decision and rules. (My amendment 1, organisation, also applies.) 9. Remove comma-splice: + Debian has no authority to hold money or property, any Debian has no authority to hold money or property. Any Rationale: this fixes the grammar and breaks up an excessively long sentence. 10. Replace `such things': 11. Replace `in name of' and `on behalf of': 12. Capitalise `Project Leader' and Delegate: + donations for the Debian Project must be made to any one of a set + of organizations designated by the Project leader (or a delegate) of organisations designated by the Project Leader (or a Delegate) + to be authorized to handle such things in name of the Debian ... to handle assets to be used for the Debian Rationale for 10.: `Such things' is vague; we should say exactly what we mean. Rationale for 11.: `In name of' is bad grammar. `In the name of' and `on behalf of (see below) would be wrong because it might imply some kind of legal existence for Debian. What we should talk about is the assets' purpose. 12. Capitalise `Project': + project.
