This is absolutely ridiculous. Do yuo have no reading comprehension
whatsoever ? What on earth do _you_ think "authortitative
decisionmaker" means ? Do you have access to a dictionary ?
Actually my reading comprehension is very good, but thanks for asking. I
explained my understanding of the term and the reasons behind it back on
May 25. No need to repeat them again.
I disagree on this point. My position is that we should definitely have
counsel review any proposed resolution template before we put it in to
action. This need not be an onerous process. SFLC has been very quick to
respond to our queries in the past. I am very impressed by the service
they have been providing us.
This is absolutely ridiculous. This "resolution template" was put
Yes, so you've said twice already :)
into action without legal review and now you are treating it as some
kind of immutable gospel and refusing to budge from it!
Actually I have stated on numerous occassions my willingness to change the
wording. I just do not wish to change it in the manner you have
suggested.
In a worst case scenario the wording of a resolution could be interpretted
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Even if the original wording was
not reviewed by a lawyer I don't want to compound the problem by changing
the resolution without proper consideration at this time. There is
increased interested among FOSS projects to use fiscal sponsorship and
this is a good time to review the wording of the resolution template[1].
[1] I hadn't mentioned it earlier but moves towards this were already
afoot before you raised the concern.
Apparently you have convinced a majority of the board.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Don't they have any reading
comprehension either ???
My experiences with the board would lead me to conclude that they have
excellent reading comprehension, some of them in several languages.
:)
Speaking only for myself as an individual director, as always.
