[VOTE] public vote resolution on TDC (The Document Collective)

Dear Directors,
at the end of the last board meeting (27.09.2019) I was asked to send out this email vote to be posted on this public board-discuss list.

The following vote was proposed during the last meeting:

---------------------------------------------------------
       The Board RESOLVES to start creation of The Document Collective (TDC) by taking the following acts:
       - Broadly, to implement the concepts in the Board's Document "The Document Collective" version 0.4 (https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/6FLTHyR8kYTAjrY)
       - Appoint a transitional leadership Group comprising Nicolas Christener, Eike Rathke, Michael Meeks, Thorsten Behrens, Uwe Altmann
       - Direct the Group to sign an agreement with Public Software CIC hosting TDC as an unincorporated association
       - Allocate a line of credit of €50000 to be requested incrementally as needed by Public Software CIC for TDC when the Group so directs,
         to be returned once a surplus is available and at the Group's discretion concerning timing and portioning, with the addition of 3% annual interest.
       - Grant Public Software CIC a trademark license for "LibreOffice" when used in the context of an online application software store
       - Direct the Group to initiate availability of LibreOffice for Mac OS and Windows through the appropriate app stores for an appropriate fee
       - Request the Group to take over making available Impress Remote and LibreOffice Viewer if each or either proves appropriate for TDC
       - Direct the Group to commission a mechanism to spend TDC's income surplus in the manner agreed by the Board's Document
       - Direct the Group to plan for the transfer of all TDC activities and liabilities to an independent legal entity as soon as practical,
         with governance implementing the concepts in the Board's Document.
