In June 2007 I devised with other team members a constructive proposal to re-organize the foundation as a starting point for reforms. It fell on deaf ears. It has since become clear that all efforts would be made to ensure that my resignation was necessary.
Is there any resource to read the discussions? I couldn't find anything in the mailman-archive.
No. As of now these are internal discussions within the team members.
I supported this proposal and we discussed it during the last general assembly in July. The outcome was that the executive board was assigned the task to work on that proposal and start a discussion process by email. By the words of the official protocol:
The GA decides that it is a priority to increase the participation of the community in the activities and governance of the organization.
The GA foresees that changes to the constitution might be required for this.
No secret vote was requested.
After discussion the item is unanimously approved [9 yes, 0 no, 0 abts].
The executive board did this, presented a new draft on August 28 and asked us for more input. Sadly, Stefano (who is full time employed by the FSFE) did not found the time to reply to that request. Actually, his resignment mail from yesterday was the first act of communication at the European level for several weeks now.
Salam-Shalom,
