1 There are a number of folks working on this issue; this thread is an
2 attempt to move conversations off of gentoo-core (internal only) and
3 onto gentoo-ftp (a more public list).

5 Renat is currently working on getting our expired New Mexico filings
6 so he can show them to some lawyers he knows in order to get some
7 recent advice on how we could proceed.

9 See [1] for more info.

11 There has been talk internally about whether accepting Daniel's offer
12 is a good idea. I think the only conclusion we can really draw at
13 this point is that the timeframe alloted is currently too short to
14 make a good choice in the matter. Some people want to vote, others
15 want more details regarding Daniel's plans, etc.
16
17 I believe there are a group of folks working to formulate the
18 necessary communique to Daniel to get their concerns addressed (I'm
19 not going to list them here or leak the contents of the request but I
20 will say it is going on).
21
22 A number of folks have volunteered to get the Foundation back in order
23 should Daniel not grant a time extension or should the existing
24 Trustees reject his request.
25
26 I want to try to make the point of this thread clear; I'm trying to
27 keep the general community informed about the internal progress of
28 what is going on. I'd appreciate useful feedback about how we could
29 proceed on the matter.

31 The intention of this list is to be about the non-profit foundation;
32 if you have problems with the distribution itself or other technical
33 matters, please direct them to gentoo-dev or gentoo-project.

35 Thanks,
