[maemo-community] [COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENT] ** Aligning of MCC and HFC **

[From: joerg Reisenweber]

Aligning of MCC and HFC:

Dear community. 

Firstly we would like to thank all the people who voted in the recent 
elections. 
Your say matters and it's important that you "the community" have your say on 
who will represent us. 
As I am sure you know by now the objective of the recent Referendum was to 
align HFC and MCC together, hence forming a Council with similar rules 
including a few tweaks to adjust to new practicalities; instead of being a 
Nokia conduit.

This will allow the two bodies to be aligned for the current and any future 
term. Hildon Foundation will therefore be left with one Council and a Board of 
Directors. In future this shall result in a single election performed for the 
unified council. 

For the above to happen it is required that the elections for HFC and MCC 
members are to be the same. 
This unfortunately didn't happen and we are currently left with one different 
member in each body, out of the five.  

The members of the Councils to be aligned are:-

Maemo Community Council
 Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
 Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
 Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
 Michael Demetriou / qwazix
 Aakash Sadh  / thedead1440

Hildon Foundation Council
 Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
 Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
 Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
 Michael Demetriou / qwazix
 Paul Healy / sixwheeledbeast

We feel three bodies will cause great confusion to the community and will be 
counter-productive.

Therefore to solve matters, sixwheeledbeast and thedead1440 stepped down with 
immediate effect from HFC and MCC respectively. While they step down to allow 
the alignment of the two Councils into one singular body, the current Council 
for its term must listen to the opinions the aforementioned two may have on 
any topics before council reaching a consensus. 

Hence the aligned Hildon Foundation Council members now are:

 Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
 Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
 Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
 Michael Demetriou / qwazix
 
We believe the above is an important step for moving the Community forward 
with a unified Council in the post-Nokia era. 

So:
MCC  hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in 
perpetuity.  Further, MCC agrees to align all future changes to be in line 
with HFC's procedures of change so that the Bylaws are adhered to.
and:
HFC hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in 
perpetuity.  Further, HFC accepts as it's own all existing rules, electorate 
processes and generals of MCC, including future changes, as it's own.

Regards
Maemo Community Council & Hildon Foundation Council coalition. 
From now on Unified Council.
