I'm in for a fourth team, if anyone wants me. |

During my fourth term, if re-elected, I would like to work on |
| 14 |
reorganising the Gentoo meta structure more in line with that of a |
| 15 |
normal corporation. Mostly because what we have today works only as |
| 16 |
long as we are all good friends. |

It will break horribly if that changes and there have been a few near |
| 19 |
hits since early 2008. When it breaks, not if, the Foundation will be |
| 20 |
held both accountable and responsible for the fallout. The Foundation |
| 21 |
cannot point to other groups within Gentoo and say it was nothing to to |
| 22 |
with them. |

At the very least, any group that makes decisions on behalf of Gentoo |
| 25 |
needs to have its members as officers of the foundation. Moreso if the |
| 26 |
decisions are sometimes controversial. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The groups I have in mind are Council, Pr and ComRel. There may be |
| 29 |
others. |

This is my own re-election manifesto. Its not been discussed with the |
| 32 |
present board. If you think its a bad idea, don't vote for me. |

There will need to be changes to the Foundation bylaws and probably a |
| 35 |
GLEP or two but its all for the long term good of Gentoo. |
