[gentoo-nfp] Please vote on this proposal related to http://bugs.gentoo.org/667602

[Alec Warner]

Summary:
The short version of the bug is that a non-trivial number of developers
cannot commit with an SoB line because their company has not yet reviewed
the new Gentoo Copyright GLEP, and so they lack company approval to attach
SoB lines or agree to the DCO.

The bug requests that a reprieve be granted until the company reviews the
new policy and (hopefully) grants approval. This would be in the form of an
allowlist where specific identities (approved by some delegate of council
&& trustees) do not require an SoB line to commit for some period of time.

Proposal:
I propose the board grant this reprieve, for whitelisted accounts for 90
days, with no extension. Williamh will supply the initial list of accounts,
to be reviewed verbally by a board delegate and a council delegate.

If the company cannot return a decision in 90 days, we can revisit the
motion with any updated data.

If the company returns a decision before 90 days, the whitelist program
will be terminated (regardless of decision reached.) Note that if the
company decides that approval will not be granted, we will in effect be
unable to accept commits from these developers on work time.

As president, I will not vote on this motion, because I'm proposing it, so
a tie vote is possible.

Please vote on -nfp; a GPG signed mail is sufficient.
