= Background =
The first goal of the membership project is to change our Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement so that it points at a file that's easier to change than the existing AUTHORS file. The first vote to change to using a fixed website url was rejected by vote of the leadership comittee with no overall conesnsus, so this follow up vote is to attempt a change without the specific url.
There are two main options that came from the previous vote, one is to publish the list on the website and the second is to not specify any particular place.
= Current FSA Language =
https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9584/2015-09-12-Inkscape-FSA-2015-05.pd... ``` Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to the Inkscape community, which is comprised solely of individuals listed in the Project’s AUTHORS file (“Inkscape Community”). ```
= Proposed New Language =
``` Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to the Inkscape community. The project shall keep a list of the contributors permitted to participate in that election process [two options available, see below]. ```
= Options =
a. Change the FSA to use "... publicly available on its website" b. Change the FSA to say "... posted publicly" c. Do not change the FSA at this time.
= Next Steps =
On the advice of Karen, after this vote we will send the result and the new language to the SFC and they will help us with the next parts of the process to update the agreement.
Thanks everyone!
Best Regards, Martin Owens
