Below is current status on the vote (we're not quite there, but pretty close), and some slight modifications to our referendum to account for voter write-ins.
An issue was raised whether the retroactive donation needs to be referenced in the FSA at all or not, and there appears to be a preference for the write-in option on question 2 so I've made the popular write-in text it's own option.

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following proposal relating to retroactive payment to SFC.
Proposal:
In light of the services provided by the Software Freedom Consortium to date, given on voluntary basis, should we provide a retroactive donation to the SFC?
[ ] Yes, donate to SFC in thanks for their past support. [ ] No. We should pay only the required 10% fee going forward from date of signature of the new FSA.
Assuming we should donate to the SFC, how much should we donate to SFC?
[ ] a. 10% of gross income since we have been a member (9 years). [ ] b. 10% of gross income since initiation of FSA #2 discussions (2012). [ ] c. A flat amount of $400 per year that we have been a member (2009). This amounts to $3600. [ ] d. A flat amount of $400 per year since FSA #2 (2012). This amounts to $1200.
[ ] e. A flat amount of $400/yr for 2009-2012 ($1600), and 10% from 2012 onward (~ $2335). This amounts to approxmately $3935. [ ] f. Some other amount: _________________________________________________________
Should mention of the retroactive donation be made in the FSA?
[ ] Yes [ ] No, only mention the 10% fee going forward in the FSA.
