From my P.O.V. this is not within the scope of the council: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Foundation is independent at the moment. They can do whatever they want |
| 20 |
to do. Council can't force them to take any actions (like foundation |
| 21 |
cannot force council to take a specific action). That's a legal thing... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So if foundation will be dissolved, foundation can ask community to come |
| 24 |
up with some ideas. But in the end only foundation can decide. Maybe we |
| 25 |
will move to SPI (https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/) but again, _only_ |
| 26 |
foundation can decide on that. |
