[Council] Councils become finally one!
Dear community.
Firstly we would like to thank all people who voted in the recent elections. Your say matters and it's important that you, "the community", have your say on who will represent you. As I am sure you know by now, the objective of the recent Referendum was to align HFC and MCC together; hence forming a Council with similar rules, including a few tweaks to adjust to new practicalities instead of being a Nokia conduit. This will allow the two bodies to be aligned for current and any future terms. Hildon Foundation will therefore be left with one Council and a Board of Directors. In future, this shall result in a single election; performed for this unified council. For the above to happen, it is required that elections for HFC and MCC members are to be the same. This, unfortunately, did not happen and we are currently left with one different member in each body, out of the five. The members, of the Councils, to be aligned are: Maemo Community Council *Rüdiger Schiller / chemist *Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw *Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991 *Michael Demetriou / qwazix *Aakash Sadh* / thedead1440 Hildon Foundation Council *Rüdiger Schiller / chemist *Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw *Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991 *Michael Demetriou / qwazix *Paul Healy / sixwheeledbeast We feel three bodies will cause great confusion to the community and will be counter-productive. Therefore, to solve matters; sixwheeledbeast and thedead1440 are stepping down immediately from HFC and MCC respectively. While they step down to allow the alignment of the two Councils into one singular body, the current Council for its term must listen to the opinions, aforementioned two may have on any topics before council reaching a consensus. Hence, the aligned Hildon Foundation Council members are now: Rüdiger Schiller / chemist Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991 Michael Demetriou / qwazix We believe, the above is an important step for moving the Community forward with a unified Council in the post-Nokia era. So: MCC* hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in perpetuity. Further, MCC agrees to align all future changes to be in line with HFC's procedures of change, so that the Bylaws are adhered to. and: HFC hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in perpetuity.* Further, HFC accepts all existing rules, electorate processes and generals of MCC, including future changes, as its own. Regards Maemo Community Council & Hildon Foundation Council coalition. Link: Original article. |

Sorry for the grammar-nazi note but as it's an official statement please do:

Re: [Council] Councils become finally one!
Thanks to all members for that solution. Even I feel sorry to „loose” thedead1440 and sixwheeledbeast for council (knowing they would have done a good job), I think this is the best solution.
And I am sure they continue to support maemo.org in known (very appreciated!) manner. |

Re: [Council] Councils become finally one!
Finally Maemo.org is getting it's bearings to keep itself alive.
This was a much needed solution. |
