Re: [board-discuss] Electing a BoD chairperson and it's deputy

2011-12-05 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

so, the board has elected

Florian Effenberger  as chairman of the board
and
   Thorsten Behrens as his deputy.


we had 6 out of 7 board members voting (making a quorum).

Each of the nominees got 5 votes (as Florian and Thorsten abstained to 
vote on their own seat). 

To support the decision we also received 2 supporting votes from
deputies.

See
http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/threads.html#02188

I'll update the website accordingly.

Congratulations to Florian and Thorsten ;)

regards,

André

 Dear Board members,
 
 according to the current draft of the foundation's legal statutes (as
 proposed to the German authorities), the foundation's board shall elect
 a chairperson and the chairperson's deputy among the board's members.
 
 In short - these will be the primary legal representatives of the
 foundation. While having no special power, legal contracts need to be
 signed by one of the board members together with either the chairperson
 or it's deputy. ( Beyond that, the board can decide to give procuration
 to individual board members.)
 
 As we are going to file the papers really soon, I'd ask the board
 members to elect
 
 Florian Effenberger  as chairman of the board
 and
Thorsten Behrens as his deputy.
 
 During the board elections Florian and Thorsten were the candidates who
 reached the highest vote rank. Florian is for sure one of our most
 active members doing great work in marketing, is coordinating our admin
 team and did lots of preparations for the legal setup of the foundation.
 Thorsten is well known and accepted among developers (and not only there
 ;) ), and also helped a lot preparing the legal setup of the foundation.
 
 I think, my suggestions in the interest of the board members and all our
 TDF members.
 (If not, time to object is right now ;) )
 
 
 Thanks and regards,
 
 André

Hi *,

so let me take this opportunity to thank you all for trusting us in
this - not only the board, but also all our members who originally
voted for us.

You folks really make the difference, and I'm both honoured 
humbled - with those last pieces falling into place, let's see to
get this foundation from bootstrapping into establishment then.

Looking forward to another exciting year with all of you,
  
-- Thorsten

Guys, congratulations. I think we should at least blog about this
announcement. I volunteer, but I cannot write anything before mid week.


thanks!

Indeed, we could also announce the other results in case we haven't 
blogged them yet (not sure). I probably shouldn't do it in the official 
blog, since I was elected, that would look rather odd. :-)
