https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2022-October/089485.html

attic for the moment
* auto-atticize according to
https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00744.html
?
because there are four board members with a direct link to the product
Collabora Online (staff of Collabora Productivity or staff/owner of
Allotropia, which has a contract for the distribution of Collabora
Online), there are only three board members without CoI on this topic.

(https://www.collaboraoffice.com/about-us-2/)
(https://www.allotropia.de/ ; section team)
If board members (with a CoI themselves on this topic) think, another
board member has a CoI on this topic too, then only two board members
are left.
If you have a look into the statutes of TDF you'll find out that it is
necessary that at least the half of the board could attend the meeting.
The half of the board are four members. Thus the board is not quorate
and could not decide on this topic.
If the at least four members with a direct link to the product Collabora
Online didn't leave the meeting before this topic or/and vote on this
topic this vote is invalid. And such a behavior of this board members
would be a violation of the foundation rules and a damage of the
foundation and its reputation in public (with very likely consequences
in relation to attraction of volunteers in any areas and the stream of
donations).
And such a behavior would plasticize that this members follow their own
financial and personal interests first, but not the ones of TDF. A
behavior like this is not in accordance with the special fiduciary duty
of board members.
In additon: I reviewed the whole process about sending a project to the
attic again. The proposal for the process seemed to neutral text, but it
was only written and voted on for one subproject: LOOL.
The only four members, which participated in the vote and agreed on the
proposal, had all a CoI on the LibreOffice Online topic, except one. The
three members had to stay away from the discussion and decision on this
proposal, because of their CoI. Thus there were only one effective
participation and vote on the proposal. Thus the proposal was not approved.
Conclusion: there is also no approved basis for topic 7.
Regards,
Andreas
