Dear Maemoans, please see following announcement on maemo.org: http://maemo.org/community/council/referendum_2015/ on talk.maemo.org: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1477233 And the (old) discussion thread:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=93908 [1] Attached you will find the full text in following formats: (html, NOT as odt, pdf). On behalf of the Community Council Peter Leinchen -- This is the short version: Dear Community, in order to finalize our move from Hildon Foundation to the Maemo Community e.V. (MC eV), a referendum is called, which is supposed to fix deficiencies in the Council Election Rules as well as in the Articles of Association of MC eV. There will be two options: - Yes, I accept MC eV Association Rules as our Community Council's Rules and I endorse the amendment of MC eV Articles of Association as described below. - No, I do want Council rules to stay outside of MC eV and its ruleset and have them as originally described. I’m aware that Council then will have no say in any MC eV or maemo.org matters. In other words... …you vote option YES: Rules around Maemo Community Council are adopted in order to fully incorporate Council as a body of MC eV. …you vote NO on the referendum: The original Council election rules will remain as is. Council then will be an interest grouping outside MC eV without a purpose, since there'll be nobody to (officially) adress anymore. Council then will be suspended from MC eV bylaws. Either way, the referendum means a change of MC eV Articles of Association as well as Association Rules, which can only be done by GA. The referendum basically is an avowal for MC eV, an approval of its bylaws and a mandate for MC eV to change them accordingly. For those who did not follow the process, here’s a short explanation in two parts (together with the affected rules, bylaws paragraphs): ... Read further for full information in the attached text and/or links. ... Coincidence or not, the last paragraph somewhat closes a circle… everybody can have his share of power by simply becoming a member. Get involved yourself instead of just electing representatives (Council). So in one month the voting booth will open and you can decide on above mentioned changes and if Council will be recognized as a group within the Maemo Community e.V. or not.
