2013-01-25 Thread Joel Madero

 I understand your concerns. However, I second Thorsten's thoughts here,
 that for an entity built up as TDF, and for the way we act, the intended
 meaning of § 5 is suitable.

 Let's see how things develop in the future. We can always adjust the rules
 of procedure should we see things don't work as intended or expected.


+1 :) I think that guessing at what future problems might occur creates a
lot of tension or at least has the potential of that. If a situation comes
up where there's a clear problem, then I say modify as needed. I don't
think saying this is how others do it is enough of a reason to change
something.

Best Regards,
Joel
