I'm very much in favour of it.

It is also important that you express your opinion during the board 
meetings.

Coincidentally LOOL was put in Monday's agenda just to confirm its 
"disposal" so come to tell us what you think about it.

There is still no "new online version", there are a couple of proposals 
on the table but it's up to all of us to make it happen.

We might need a meeting dedicated to re-discovering the Foundation roots 
as I have the impression that some have different understanding of why 
TDF was created and what its role should be.

I fully agree with you but as TDF has grown and got more complex it is 
essential to set clear rules of engagement between TDF and the ecosystem.

You may have noticed some decisions that have been recently published, 
and there are more to come, showing that lots of work is being put into 
it so that we can ensure that there is a fair and predictable 
environment for current and future members of the ecosystem.

It takes time for a bunch of stubborn guys to get to some agreements but 
we are getting there. It would be great if we could have more diverse 
future boards to bring in different approaches to problem solving ;-)

True and it would be great to have more feedback from other parts of the 
world.

Hopefully once Decidim is up and running we'll have an easier way to 
collect feedback and ideas from the various community so that it will be 
easier to help each others.
