If Foundation decides to arbitrarily change a policy that's been
initially approved both by Council and Foundation, then I propose that
the Council rejects changes to the policy and blocks such contributions.

the power that they've only gotten because nobody else wanted to take
legal risk from negligence of previous Boards.
