The ideal president or chairperson needs to be somebody who can unite staff, volunteers, fellows, supporters, donors and external parties. To chair meetings, lead effectively and gain respect when representing FSFE publicly, they need to be above the controversial politics we have seen recently and acceptable to everybody. The president doesn't have to be staff, it could be a volunteer too, we have over 1,500 people in the community and I'm sure there are many good candidates there. Matthias could continue to lead the staff in the Executive Director role, given Jonas' recent news that he is vacating that role? Could this be the most constructive way to move forward and close the chapter on the recent politics? Maybe a dramatic change of leader could also be a good alternative to the endless discussions about diversity. By making it a position for a volunteer, more people might apply for it.
