Hello, Sorry everybody for not replying over the weekend, here are some of my policies
Many Fellows use the fsfe.org email addresses. The Fellowship Council will demand a meeting with Richard Stallman and Matthias Kirschner to understand the conflict about the FSFE name and also represent the interests of Fellows who may be unaware of the conflict or inconvenienced. If FSF really objects to the name like in the leaked email then Fellows need to stop using it now, we shouldn't be trying to extort things from FSF. People can't accuse the last Fellowship rep of being entitled when FSFE is even more brazen using the name of another organization. But I would try to get a good deal for Fellows to keep their email addresses even if FSFE loses the name, this is why it is so important for Fellows to have a voice in the Fellowship Council now. Another group where I volunteer runs an annual ball. We sell tickets to all our friends, dress up and have a lot of fun. Most members are able to sell between 6 and 10 tickets, enough to fill a table. Fellowship groups can bid to host a Fellowship ball in their city each year. Before I write a lot more about my ideas, I would like to see the policies of other candidates. One candidate has proposed to delete people from the mailing list without consent. I don't feel comfortable about that and if we are both in the Fellowship Council, I would vote against it.
