So now I understand the problem. Seems to me rather a handling glitch ;-) Is it right that a deputy member is - in all practical matters - seen as a member of the body but without a vote (attends meetings in an active role, shares all information etc.)? Then the CoI-Rule surely should apply for deputy members as well. This is imho the necessary solution because this affiliated deputy member ("D") could only step in if a member with the same affiliation ("C") steps back; otherwise the CoI-Rule would prevent him/her to observe his/her duty. Legal advice needed: Is a "deputy member" also a case of "member"? If "yes" then the case is ruled by the statute's CoI-Rule anyway. If in doubt or if not, then: There is § 12 (5) which reads "The details of the induction and expulsion from the Membership Committee shall be regulated by a community by-law from the Board of Directors." So these by-laws maybe could have ruled (or specified the handling of) such a case; so the BoD is free to change or add such rules. So maybe no need to tweak the statutes - at least for the MC. But imho we need a solution for this for the BoD also. So a "yes" would be appreciated :-) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Uwe Altmann -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
