The under 18 issue, new trustees

Hi guys,
Unfortunately, according to my lawyer it is not appropriate for people under
18 to serve on the board of the Gentoo Foundation. The reason for this is
that under US Law, decisions made by people under 18 are "voidable", meaning
that when someone turns 18 they can revoke or change any decisions they made
before they were 18. There is no clear way to work around this limitation.
Avenj, I'm sorry about this and hope that you'll stick it out and run for a
trustee position after you turn 18.
I also checked on the non-US-citizen issue, and fortunately there is not a
problem having non-US-citizens as trustees.
Also, I've changed my mind and decided not to serve on the board of the NFP.
So we will have the following board:
Klieber
Carpaski
Pfeifer
G2boojum
Seemant
Dmwaters (in place of avenj)
Zhen (in place of drobbins)
Agriffis
Swift
Pauldv
Method
Azarah
This keeps the number at 12 people. I'll wait for 20 or so hours to allow
for feedback from dmwaters and zhen and then pass this list to my lawyer to
use as the official trustee list.
Regards,
Daniel
