Re: [steering-discuss] Request for changes of Membership Committee

Hi :)
Would his description be more accurate if someone changed it from ... 
"David is the LibreOffice community representative in         Brazil."
to 
"David is a LibreOffice community representative in         Brazil."

It is difficult to claim someone is representing any community accurately as the 
whole point about a community is that there are many diverse, probably 
conflicting, opinions and representing all those opinions in a fair way is very 
difficult and possibly unlikely to happen.  We do what we can but never achieve 
perfection (hopefully).  It is even difficult if the community votes on who is 
to 'represent them'.  

Regards from
Tom :)

In my view, David is a good translator, indeed.

Concerning to the MC, I think that there must have *Web of Trust* and, here, we 
got problems in finding a connector for this WoT concerning to David. I think we 
need people without any problems inside that WoT.

Since the begining of TDF, he is using an untrue description in his profile at 
TDF's website [1]. I have warned core@ already, but this profile is still there.

As he cited my name, this is my position about him.

Best,
Claudio
