Dear All

I read with some dismay that it has been decided to limit the rights to 
use board-discuss to Paolo Vecchi.

I appreciate that Paolo Vecchi freely communicates his thoughts on what 
is happening within the BoD.

The decision to suspend his activity in the board-discuss is 
illegitimate. It is necessary for the BoD to *make this point clear and 
revoke that decision immediately*.

If the vote is ok, why is it not voted by all board members now? A 
lawyer proposed to turn back the rules of procedure.

Why is it not done? What kind of democracy is this? What is it behind 
such an action? Explain these issues in no uncertain terms to the whole 
LibreOffice community and members of any related bodies.

Now I read in

<https://community.documentfoundation.org/t/vote-revert-rules-of-procedure-changes/9432/15> 
about something that could be related?

All this worries me and maybe many members of our great Community.

Ciao
