As you can see the proposal is signed by specific people who wrote up the summary of our discussions here. In general we believe the conversations about new GNU govenance and the new relationship of the FSF and the GNU project should be held in public and not on private lists where a secret cabal makes decissions. This way it is clear who suggested what and why. If you have been following the discussions on gnu-misc-discuss you can see all these topics being discussed. We sadly don't have a specific public space just for GNU volunteers yet, so there is some noise from non-GNU people on this list. But in general the people who are making these suggestions are the actual GNU maintainers and developers who are making GNU a reality. Cheers, Mark
