Sergio Benitez is recognised by SPI as the authoritative decision maker and SPI liaison for Rocket (RWF2). Successors will be appointed by the RWF2 board (https://github.com/orgs/rwf2/people) via direcy majority of present vote. 5. If the last known SPI liaison for Rocket (RWF2) is unreachable and no new SPI liaison is appointed for two consecutive years, the associated project is deemed defunct. 6. In such a circumstance, the SPI Board will, in its good-faith discretion, proceed as follows: the Board will identify one or more other SPI associated projects or 501(c)(3) charities which can accept the project's assets and use them for a similar purpose, and transfer the assets to the identified destination or destinations as feasible. Assets for which no such transfer can be arranged within a reasonable time will become part of the SPI general fund. 7. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is approved by the SPI Board. -- Jonatas L. Nogueira (“jesusalva”) Board of Directors Member Software in the Public Interest, Inc.
