The bylaws say nothing about officers of the foundation serving on the=20 coucil. That is, you can't be a decision maker in both places but you can do=20 the work. In this instance, were quantumsumers to be elected to the=20 council, he could contine in the office of Secretary. The Foundation are working hard to split the roles of trustees and=20 officers but every time we make some progress an officer is elected as=20 a trustee. The distinction is important. Trustees make the decisions,=20 officers carry out the decisions. Much like any other corporation. - --=20 Regards, Roy Bamford (NeddySeagoon) a member of gentoo-ops forum-mods treecleaners trustees -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAko/5E0ACgkQTE4/y7nJvatn3gCfZIVX0NTuLxClSXD3nbJy0vBd UD0An0OEUB40W3I6kII3MGd1UQtpiIqp =3D4dqB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
