Thank you for gentle explanation, Ian.
It is not clear for me yet that where we are and why we got there, but
it seems quite obvious that we definitely need to go forward from
here, I guess.
To go forward, we have to organise a new board as an engine to drive
our project as soon as possible.
In short, we have to choose 2 individual representative from there
four nominees until Jan 31.

Hi Heather, Vebj?rn,
The nominations are for election to the new Management Board. None of
the existing Board members will be automatically appointed. The
Management Board is the group which is intended to direct Foundation
affairs in a practical sense and in that role, all of the current
Interim Board members are effectively 'standing down'.
My understanding is that all of the Interim Board members will remain
as 'Company Members' ( the legal 'owners' in UK Company law) until
after the election. The role of Company Members is largely nominal i.e
somewhat like Trustees / Guarantors in a charity to provide general
oversight.
The current proposals envisage a small Company Membership but we know
that there is some debate in the community about whether every
Individual and Industry member should automatically also be a
legal'Company Member'. UK not-for-profit law recognises both
approaches as being valid in different circumstances. The Interim
Board felt that this discussion still needs to be had but that it was
more important to get the new Management Board up and running first,
particularly as the election process should give that group a stronger
mandate and hopefully introduce fresh perspectives.
I would regard the Management Board as holding the key power and
responsibility and that this is a new entity. If current Interim Board
members want to participate they should nominate like anyone else.
Current Interim Board members will carry on in the short term as the
legal 'Company Members' until that broader constitutional question is
resolved. This will be an important discussion but is almost wholly
about how we feel that the aims and philosophy of the Foundation are
best protected, and not about running the Foundation per-se.

Thanks Ian,
I would be interested to know who is remaining and who is standing down. Is
that information available?
I suspect that others in the community might like it too. It may influence
decisions to nominate, or not.
Regards
Heather

Hi Heather,
The existing Board will be dissolved. The current interim Board members will
remain as legal Company members/directors in line with UK
