Dear Bishakha, could you please elaborate why the board has chosen for a secretive amendment procedure here, rather than sharing the proposed amendments with the community and asking their input on it? Especially where it concerns such non-trivial changes.
I hope that also other board members will share their view on this process, and why they didn't ask input of the community themselves. I would have expected such questions especially from those board members that were (s)elected by the community and/or the chapters. Do you consider such community discussions unwanted? Was there an exceptional legal threat that required these changes at short notice?
