If Foundation decides to arbitrarily change a policy that's been |
| 34 |
initially approved both by Council and Foundation, then I propose that |
| 35 |
the Council rejects changes to the policy and blocks such contributions. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Furthermore, I will propose that we actively pursue removing Foundation |
| 38 |
from Gentoo as apparently Trustees once again are trying to abuse |
| 39 |
the power that they've only gotten because nobody else wanted to take |
| 40 |
legal risk from negligence of previous Boards. |
