I'm hesitant to declare it a failure until I see more evidence that delegation has been tried and failed. For example, I could do this sort of thing without being on the board at all- no need to appoint me to the board. But frankly I have not felt like my attempts to help out have been invited, much less encouraged. Or to put it another way- I'm running because delegation appears to have failed, not because the 7-person board has failed. > So much for being away for five years. :-) I never said five, I said three. ;) Luis _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
