The GNOME Foundation Membership  Elections Committee is pleased to
announce the preliminary results for Membership Vote Regarding Change to
Bylaws.

We strongly encourage everyone to look at the detailed results to verify
their vote.

These results can be challenged by sending an e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] . The challenges have to be sent before MOnday,
October 22, 2007, 23:59 UTC. Please note that these results should not
be considered final until any such challenges have been resolved.


The question was: Should Foundation bylaws be changed in order to amend, in a 
way that current text of VIII 3. (a) Each of the directors shall hold office 
for one (1) year. to be changed as Each of the directors shall hold office 
for one (1) year, or a period of up to two (2) years as determined by the Board 
and announced prior to an election being called.?

The results are:
yes (125 votes)
no (22 votes)

If the results are not challenged, current text of VIII 3. (a) Each of the 
directors shall hold office for one (1) year. of Foundation Bylaws will be 
changed to
Each of the directors shall hold office for one (1) year, or a period of up to 
two (2) years as determined by the Board and announced prior to an election 
being called.

Even though I've voted yes, the voting activity level is depressing I
must say. How many members the Foundation has currently?

Is it really a too difficult and too time consuming task to spend a
minute to cast one's vote in a fortnight for an average GNOME Foundation
member?

Regards,
Žygis

398 members (although there were less members for this vote, I guess).

Note that not everyone may have an opinion for such a simple change.
They can just let others choose by not voting.
