<quote who="Luis Villa"> > I volunteered to take leadership on this position months ago.
We chose to have a Board member as liaison to the Legal team, which was very clearly delegated the responsibility to provide legal support and advice to the Foundation. This is the same model as other teams, but as the legal team is new and doesn't have a well-defined leadership/sustainability model (as, say, the release team does), it could do with a lot more shepherding. It was only clear to us very recently that the current liaison was not doing this effectively. The only reason it became clear to us is that our own goals were not being met, not as a result of feedback from the legal team itself. So, yes, I totally understand your position, but I think that falling back on unsympathetic, dramatic criticism of the Board and ultimatums is not a productive way of fixing the problem. - Jeff -- GNOME.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://live.gnome.org/Melbourne2008 "Creative thinkers make many false starts, and continually waver between unmanageable fantasies and systematic attack." - Harry Hepner _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
