Voting in referenda is generally not very high, and there was 0 debate on this issue on the list (I did see some grumbling on IRC, but nothing concrete), so it's hardly an initiative that's going to mobilise the troops. I'm hopeful that there'll be more animation around the elections this year.

There was buttloads of discussion around the initial plan, which partly led to the revised implementation (mostly about extending the current board's term, and we had legal advice suggesting the bylaws change). Based on the length and breadth of the earlier threads, I don't think there was any lack of discussion. :-) - Jeff -- GNOME.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://live.gnome.org/Melbourne2008 I hear Tom Wolfe's speaking at Lincoln Center.

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? I had no strong opinion so I left it up to the others. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
