Roy, |

|
| 31 |
are there any "limits" to the type of advertisements that the |
| 32 |
Foundation will permit? I expect that the Trustees will do some |
| 33 |
filtering regardless, but are we going to create a "policy" on the |
| 34 |
type of advertisements that are to be permitted? |

Although I consider this to be a significant change, I hope it won't |
| 44 |
affect Gentoo's spirit, that it may help foster support for Gentoo and |
| 45 |
that we can make the best use of these resources for our community. |
