in Nokia times, the purpose of Council was to give the community a
voice towards Nokia representatives (Community Manager, whatever…).
Then Nokia abandoned Maemo, donated servers and sold the rights to
maemo.org and Maemo(TM) to Hildon Foundation, a maemo community
driven organisation. In the process of this we learned that an US
based organisation has i<SPAN STYLE="background: transparent">ts
drawbacks/challenges and it wa</SPAN>s decided to form an entity
based in Europe which is a German Registered Association now known as
Maemo Community e.V. - instead of having a board assigned to manage
the organization, only the association is now accepting regular
members which have the final say in any matter. The association's
board does handle day to day tasks like minor community requests,
funds, buy hardware for our infrastructure, basically pay the bills
and do minor steering only. That said, the associations regular
members having the final say in any matter, this also applies to
rules and regulations and their changes, including but not limited to
the Council Election Rules. During the MC eV founding meeting, the
existing (unified Maemo Community/HiFo) Council was nominated for the
Council of MC eV. The MC eV members voted unanimously "yes"
for all existing councilors who accepted the vote. By doing so,
Council effectively accepted MC eV Council election rules (and all
other other regulations) which were publicized earlier. To have this
sanctioned by all of you, we need this referendum.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
