woody adding on from your post; shouldnt the power to change by-laws only lie with the community and not 75% board + 67% community?
Correct me if i'm wrong here...
My understanding is that the laws around non-profits require that any change to bylaws be approved by at least a majority of the Board.

Got a link, or a link in the general direction?
I'd like to see where it says it must be: 75% board or 75% board "+" 67% community consensus, not merely 67% community consensus.
Try looking here & the post linked to from there, then cross-reference what's been answered with those posts.

Understand, Maemo is not itself a legal entity, but rather a loose trademark "club" operating under the ownership of Nokia. Because of that, we could make any rules or rule changes we wanted without limitation, so long as Nokia was willing to continue providing the legal and financial umbrella for the community.
When forming a legal entity, one must follow the rules around establishing and maintaining those. This is, in fact, one of the many reasons we desire keeping Council separate from the Board, and have not suggested that one should replace the other.
Maemo Council Member: May 2012 - November 2012
Hildon Foundation founding member.
Hildon Foundation Board of Directors: March 2013 - Jan 15, 2014
