Hi Sander, I've been thinking a lot about this before I sent yesterdays E-Mail. I decided to leave out the strict rules as I believe in the community process. Surely there's the possibility that someone could "take over" or [insert hostile act] the project, but I don't actually think we're that important yet. This is also the reason, why I included
<snip> The new board should take the following actions during its term: - Set election rules for the governance board </snip> In the election call mail. The lack of rules is good as long as we are working all on our own, they're insufficient if we want to reach a goal.
