Realistically speaking, we're hardly ever going to meet in person, but online, because we are not all based in the same city. It might make sense to make in-person meetings require a quorum and let IRC meetings always be quorate. Because otherwise, the people in Munich (where the Verein is based) could pretty much do whatever they want, knowing that the rest of the Verein will not be able to just travel to Munich. > The only other thing I see as of right now is that extraordinary > votes go through the board or a board-designated proxy.

I won't be opposed to it, but I really can't work any more on this and we should no longer delay sending it in to the authorities… > Text like "einer den Mitgliedern des Vereins vertrauenswuerdigen > Person" might fit the bill, here. I do not think it is possible for all members to all trust one and the same other person. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "it always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account hofstadter's law." -- douglas hofstadter
