* ESC tender project proposal process (Thorsten & Florian)

...

   + process draft, full text:
     https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/YprpsFP45z7a7p3


	Having spent time reading and providing feedback, when it was solicited 
on this draft, and having collected a number of obvious problems & 
suggested associated improvements - I'm surprised to have had no 
feedback on these:


https://www.mail-archive.com/libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org/msg37.html

It was proposed as:

+ this is not a fait-a-compli from the board perspective
+ not necessary for the ESC to adopt something that may change
  in a week or two anyway.
+ for the moment - just play by the rules.

	And fair enough to follow even a somewhat flawed process in parallel 
with the next steps for getting a more workable process - ideally before 
this is adopted. What is the bottleneck there? legal time? or something 
else?


Thanks,

Michael.

in the ESC call on short notice. ;) I will send an update tomorrow.
