[gentoo-project] Proposal for Trustees: Reflect CoC in Bylaws

[Robin H. Johnson]

(Please respond on the gentoo-project list, it gets a lot more traffic
than NFP).

The Gentoo Foundation bylaws [1] do not presently bind any member to
agreeing to the Code of Conduct.

I propose that the addition of a new section to the bylaws:
====
Section 4.11: Responsibilities of Members
All members, trustees and officers of the foundation shall commit
themselves to acting with integrity and respecting the Gentoo Code of
Conduct as a minimum standard.
====

For the record, the bylaws include a clause for termination of
membership, by majority vote of trustees. I feel this is sufficient in
addition to the comrel responsibilities and CoC 'Consequences' section,
but would encourage comrel to recommend to the Board the termination of
membership in appropriate cases.
