Hi.
I'll admit that I've been rather out of the loop of late, but I do try to at least research GRs and make as informed of a decision as I can. I was unable to find any legal review of the proposed changes to the constitution. The idea of a project associated with a single non-profit for financial and legal matters is fairly well established: there is Debian and SPI, the IETf and ISOC, various arrangements involving the BSDs and a number of other things I'm aware of. Sometimes it works better than others--the projects with lots of money tend to have non-profits that are fairly organized, while projects with less money often do not enjoy as much organization. However, I'm concerned that the model we propose moving to may be much more dubious from a legal standpoint. Basically I'm not sure, and without a legal review I'm sure I can't support it. Has such a review happened? If so, is it public? If not public, can we at least know who did the review and have an assertion that they were happy with the proposed text? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
