Private part 3. Discuss & vote: budget for 2022 (Thorsten, all 40 mins)because the discussion and decision was made in private, there is no information given about the BoD members participated in this topic. But I assume that the same members as in the public meeting take part in the private meeting.
I believe you are correct.
If this budget includes items for development, e.g. for development tender and for in-house developer, there would be at least a CoI, if a company / organization connected to one of the BoD members would bit for a tender.
I raised the issue and there has been an agreement to remove the in-house developers project from the budget vote.
You will notice from the preliminary budget that has been published that a proposal for a QA engineer, that hasn't been discussed openly as I did with the developers proposal, got through.
I demanded for the proposal to be discussed with TDF's team, which is finally happening, and also to be shared with the rest of the community so that you can help in evaluating it but that hasn't happened yet.
Thus at least every company / organization connected to one of the BoD members has to be excluded from TDF tender process.
That's an interesting statement which deserves further evaluation.IIRC every member of the board always voted for the budget without distinction.
Regards, Andreas
