I am curious. Sounds like you have a problem with foundation and how |
| 10 |
they decided to spend their money and are handling funding request in |
| 11 |
general or the AWS credits in particular. Because you are part of the |
| 12 |
foundation, may I ask if you brought your 'disagreement' to their attention? |

PS: Please don't make the mistake and take my unwillingness to accept |
| 16 |
this agenda item for upcoming council meeting as a show of solidarity |
| 17 |
with the foundation's decisions -- I am not a member of foundation and I |
| 18 |
haven't commented their decisions (yet). But I know the legal authority |
| 19 |
that the council has in detail -- zero. That's a fact. And I think it |
| 20 |
helps nobody to give them the impression council or any other body could |
| 21 |
do anything about it. Imagine people would assume that now, they must be |
| 22 |
*really* disappointed once they learn the hard way that foundation is an |
| 23 |
independent body. That said, the ball is in half of the foundation's |
| 24 |
playing field and no one other than the foundation can play it. However, |
| 25 |
I am not sure if they are on the field/playing a game at all. That's why |
| 26 |
I asked the question if you brought your disagreement to their attention... |
