In regards to those minutes, if they are real:

Changes of the statute require a majority of three quarters of the
delivered valid voices; abstentions are not counted. Dissolution of
the FSFE requires four fifths of the voices of all members of the
association. Changing the purpose of the FSFE can only be decided with
unanimous agreement of all members. Members not present at the General
Assembly can submit their agreement in writing to the president within
one month.

So they removed that, making further changes even easier. They have
some legal advisor, is name known?

I think that everybody can collect email addresses from a mailing list
to inform members, that is not illegal, as information of members is
genuine interest for organization. They are trying to make it illegal
case.

Can you please tell us if the people who resigned have requested anonymity?

Anybody can work out who they are by comparing the team page to an
archived copy:

https://fsfe.org/about/team.en.html

I chose not to repeat their names, they are on BCC and invited to come
and speak on their own, if they haven't already been participating here
with anonymous identities.

What would be more interesting is the audio recordings from the meeting
and the names of people voting for and against particular motions.

Regards,

Daniel
