The letter of mission of the present SC lasts until next September but it can disband itself much earlier provided we have incorporated. Right now we are working towards incorporating as a Foundation in Germany. We're looking for the seed capital and then I understand it will take about 4 months or a bit more to fully get established.

Read this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00229.html Last but not least, your perception of our health as a community is somewhat pessimistic and does not seem to rest on any clear metrics; but perhaps you're just expressing your opinion. I don't share it though. However, it is true that since nobody's perfect, the SC and its members did some mistakes and the ones I can point out were that we haven't been directing the website works enough. I think that we're entering a stage where the SC and are project is going to rationalize its own activities as purpose and specific goals will be set and discussed and teams will be formed. These things usually go with some straightening-up around the corners. But to claim that there are dual and perhaps triple standards depending on the people is perfectly wrong. While for specific things we do integrate members of the OOo community faster than others the door is always open and everyone has to contribute: there are reserved seats as long as the people sitting on them fulfill their roles. If they don't, the seat goes to someone else. So to come back on the bylaws: we can start to implement them little by little but they will only be fully enforced and implemented once we have a legal entity. Before we can only lay the pillars and set up whatever can be set up without interfering with the legal entity in formation. best, Charles. > > David Nelson > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
