I vote c. in this instance.
The matter is underdeveloped. The current agreement doesn't specify any mechanisms at all, and this seeks to enjoin our internal matters to an external agreement. We don't know if this is a good idea, it's not been through any sounding out or brought up at a meeting where experts could be questioned.
I can't see it offering benefit to us. There's nothing we're trying to prevent, or encourage, I say leave it out of this round of updates to the FSA.
And on a personal note; I think we should take more responsibility for setting our leadership policies up. If we're a division of the SFA (in business speak) then we ort to have local policy and be practiced at maintaining it.

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following matter.
Background
Previously we voted on adjusting the FSA to change the list of people who can vote for the PLC positions to be a list maintained by the PLC instead of the AUTHORS file. We sent that to the SFC and they recommended some slight changes. They'd like to see the URL there, but with a mechanism to change it without going through the whole FSA change procedure.
Proposal
Amend the FSA section 6 paragraph 2 from:
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”).
to:
Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to the Inkscape community, which is comprised solely of individuals listed on the following URL on the Project’s website (“Inkscape Community”), or such other URL as provided to Conservancy by the Authorized Representative upon unanimous approval of the Committee: https://inkscape.org/*membership/list.txt
Votes
a. Ammend the FSA as written above b. Similar to above but with these changes: c. We shouldn't amend the FSA _______________________________________________ Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org To unsubscribe send an email to inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org
