Hi, so, the board has elected
Florian Effenberger as chairman of the board and Thorsten Behrens as his deputy. we had 6 out of 7 board members voting (making a quorum). Each of the nominees got 5 votes (as Florian and Thorsten abstained to vote on their own seat). To support the decision we also received 2 supporting votes from deputies. See http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/threads.html#02188 I'll update the website accordingly. Congratulations to Florian and Thorsten ;) regards, André -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:55:51 +0100 > Von: "André Schnabel" <andre.schna...@gmx.net> > An: board-discuss@documentfoundation.org > Betreff: [board-discuss] Electing a BoD chairperson and it\'s deputy > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Dear Board members, > > according to the current draft of the foundation's legal statutes (as > proposed to the German authorities), the foundation's board shall elect > a chairperson and the chairperson's deputy among the board's members. > > In short - these will be the primary legal representatives of the > foundation.
