Now on the word appoint, what do you think? That the bylaws have the 7 day clause just for the sake of the rule? Or to ensure that the Foundation doesn't remain directorless for long? If Mr. Bauer's explanation is indeed right then he could have appointed Pope Francis as Diector and no further action would be required. Is this likely to be the spirit of that clause? Is this a foundation you want serving maemo.org?
