Dev Fund Proposal: 5-Entity Strategic Council Approach

One of the main differences would be that every year, or even in shorter intervals, the council/board would be elected/choosen. If i remember right the foundations board is for a full 4 year period and despite some voices in the past for shorter election intervals the foundation wasn’t really responsive on this one.

You misremember, it’s a 3 year term, which you can view on our bylaws. And not to speak for the board, but I know @amiller has expressed interest in the past for either shortening the board term and/or creating community mechanisms that are binding in our bylaws. (so I think you are mischaracterizing this)

I was able to dig out your response than back from January.

@acityinohio

The Board may expand membership if they so choose, and there aren’t any restrictions on being elected for another term. I do not speak for the Board, but I do not expect another Board election this year

@acityinohio

If you are unhappy with how the Foundation has been working, it’s probably more effective to petition the Board to fire me

These comments left the impression on my end that the foundation is not very responsive in having shorter election intervals at all or are open for shorter community elections at all.

After you corrected me that the board member ship is 3 years and not 4 years (thx a lot!), it seems the period expires in March 2020. IF i remember correctly the ZF board was created in Martch 2017, or?

As there are only 6 months left until than it might be a good idea to prepare some election/voting tool that fits these elections as well IF the ZF board members are elected of course.
