Hi, if I draw a resume on the discussion in the thread 'MCC questions' I saw basically only contributions from members that are already core people of the foundation administration bodies or stand / stood as candidates for these bodies.
I already mentioned that TDF currently has more than 200 members, but only a few of them (see above) contribute to the discussion(s). Thus TDF has not an issue with the quantity of members, but with the involvement of them in the discussion process / the democratic process. The first question should be, how to activate members to get a more active role in the decision making of TDF (that was one reason to create TDF as a membership organization). Another issues of TDF is the inbalance. Some think that everything is about development and developers are key (and everything else is 'Gedöns'. And the next issue is that inside the developing area of LibreOffice there is a domination from one company. There is no real diverse eco system yet (and since years). And this leads to the attempt to dominate TDF and to blame the statutes if they get in the way here, something that damages TDF. And for a broad discussion and participation the used language (in the process) maybe a big issue for many members, because they are not native English speaker.
