The whole thing simply doesn't mention Maemo Community a single time. I don't see how it would be suited to fix the problem I referred to, that a general assembly and even a board is free to ignore Maemo Community completely. The above lnked URL / paragraph nicely lists a set of purposes of the e.V. which would allow to move the whole assets to support Ubuntu Touch or even Android and shut down maemo completely. Which would be all fine (well... " ") if it was decided by Maemo Community in a referendum, but NOT when a general assembly or even a bord of 5(?) can decide on it.
And all hysterical repeating of "a general assembly is a legal requirement" doesn't help you out of that conflict, the only fix would be to have the according rules in bylaws that clearly state that the e.V. will "obey" to The (true) Maemo Community. As elaborated upon in my previous post.
