Some thoughts: 1) General I don't see the necessity for creating a foundation instead of using the services of e.g. SPI [0] or the SF Conservancy [1] in the USA or FFIS e.V. [2] in Europe. Has this been considered, and if yes, why were these options discarded? 2) On the text of the by-laws draft | The Foundation shall maintain a community with open membership | having minimal criteria for membership Which criteria? Shouldn't they be spelled out in the by-laws? | No member may be removed from the community except for violating | procedures and rules that the community shall subsequently adopt. s/community/Foundation/ I guess. (The "community" doesn't exist legally so removal or admission isn't possible.) | Within one year, the initial Board shall determine the criteria and | method for the selection of subsequent Board of Directors. I don't think that's a good idea. From my understanding of the nature of by-laws, clarifying how officers are (s)elected is one of the crucial things to have. Thanks for your hard work on securing the future of maemo! Cheers, gregor [0] http://spi-inc.org/ [1] http://sfconservancy.org/ [2] http://www.ffis.de/ -- .''`.
