Ladies and Gentlemen,
As we have a shortage of nominations for trustee roles, I would like to
nominate all of this years council candidates.
In alphabetical order they are:
ajak
dilfridge
flow is not a foundation member so cannot be a trustee.
mattst88
mgorny
patrick
sam
soap
ulm
By standing for council, they have indicated a willingness to undertake
everything that the Foundation does, except the bookkeeping and filing
annual returns, once the Foundation transfers to an umbrella.
They may as well dip a toe in the water sooner rather than later, as it
could smooth the handover.

I haven't fired up the paperwork for a legally codified role yet (needed
for a state employee in Germany) and have very strong doubts that the
approval process could be finished in time. So, no, sorry.

Thanks.
My employer requires that I receive permission before accepting a
position on the board of foundation. I asked for permission two years
ago and never received a reply.

That's sort of the crux of the issue though — I'm happy to do the bits
outside of the bookkeeping and taxes. My expectation is that Council
is going to take the lead on dissolving the Foundation this year and I
plan to contribute to that.
But I don't think I can (or want to) take on the other
responsibilities that we ultimately want an umbrella to handle for us.
As a result, I decline the nomination.

Thanks for the nomination! Unfortunately I don't expect to have the
time this year, thus I must decline.

I am going to decline. I will be available to help out with the
banking bits, as most accounts are linked to me. I am hoping the
council will take the lead and get everything moved somewhere
longterm. Robin has done a super job, mostly by himself keeping the
finances and books in order.
Regards

Thank you but I'm going to decline. I expect the Council to have enough
work this year, and I won't be able to handle both roles.
