That is because the Foundation has failed to fulfill their role and duty. |

Though now that this fact has been made known. They could choose to fulfill |
| 9 |
their duties and obligation to the community. |

The Gentoo Social Contract is dead and should not be upheld? Any inaction is a |
| 16 |
fault on behalf of the Foundation and Trustees. |

You realize the Social Contract is Gentoo's mandate and is the highest level |
| 19 |
document. That people have been focusing on CoC ignoring the Social Contract |
| 20 |
is their own issues. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Only Trustees can enforce Social Contract. Thus others focus on CoC and things |
| 23 |
within their control to enforce. Not realizing the Trustees oversee Gentoo. |
| 24 |
That is their role. If you read the social contract, it and the foundation |
| 25 |
pages. They are to oversee development at the highest level. |

"In other words, the Gentoo Foundation will: |

.... |
| 29 |
oversee development so it adheres to the social contract" |

Every bit of my interactions with Comrel are public. Anything that is not they |
| 39 |
have chosen to hide. I have nothing to hide, and neither should they. |
| 40 |
If individuals are requesting the information be made known, that should not |
| 41 |
be denied. |
