So, *who* is allowed to vote on this?

I would like to see more communication and information what the
foundation does. Why can't you inform your foundation members of what is
going on and what will be done next?
Why don't you ask for help in specific areas. Maybe someone can help
or has some special experience with a topic? Why is everything so hidden?

Yes, there is some information here and there. But someone has to search
for it. Be more open.


On what basis could the foundation members reelect the trustees?
How can someone decide whether a trustee has done a good job or not?
