Seems a good idea. |

It doesn't work for the reasons you mention. |

Until (unless?) you decide to change the Foundation membership rules, |
43 |
you can use last voting officers. I've talked with rane and fox2mike |
44 |
about starting a gentoo election project, which would be responsible |
45 |
for keeping the election scripts. The team would update (tweak?) the |
46 |
scripts as needed, but an infra member would still run the scripts - |
47 |
no change on policy. The project would have a list of members that are |
48 |
willing to be officers on elections and for any particular election a |
49 |
subset of member would be chosen to run it. This election team could |
50 |
also help coordinate or run elections for other teams - if asked to do |
51 |
so. |

- From the previous mails, my understanding is that the point about |
60 |
membership to the Foundation is not to be discussed on this meeting, |
61 |
but on a later date. Am I correct? |
