Dear Inkscape PLC,
Attached is the report directly from the hiring comittee, it contains a full detailed account of what happened, the steps everyone took and some recomendations for us in the PLC to consider.
Please do read the full report. It's not very long, but I think it contains a great deal of thoughtful information from our volunteer hiring comittee members.

My own additional recommendations is that the project not persue hiring a paid administrator until a HR person be available at the SFC to oversee the process. I do not believe that there was sufficient staffing at the SFC to process the time sensitive elements of this request we made of them. Thus long delays and ultimately starvation of the process.
The PLC may want to publicise this issue further to aid in full project transparency, but please go through the vectors team directly. I don't believe a further meeting is neccessary; The hiring comittee is henceforth disbanded.
And if I'm being honest everyone involved in this process is emotionally spent and we all require time and space to recover.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
