RE: FOUNDATION PROPOSAL: The Merger

in #foundationproposal • 6 years ago

I am hugely in favour of a collaboration.

Support for individual witnesses should never be implied, directly or indirectly, by any Foundation account or active board member unless said member is a witness themselves and are speaking from a non-Foundation standpoint.

Does this mean that board members, unless witnesses themselves, cannot vote for other witnesses? I think having a witness vote for someone is quite a strong and direct implication that you are in support of them :)

    individuals can vote for who ever they want.
    No vote representing the organization is to be made.

    That maybe should be worded clearer.

      The additional sentence clarifies what the account will be doing in not voting for witnesses.

      I'm still stuck on:

      ... unless said member is a witness themselves and are speaking from a non-Foundation standpoint.

      Why do they have to be a witness themselves?

      Support for individual witnesses should never be implied, directly or indirectly, by any Foundation account or active board member unless said member is speaking from a non-Foundation standpoint.

      e.g. Any board member can speak positively or negatively (by votes or text) towards a witness as long as they aren't using the foundation account?

      Good luck on this! :D

        As long as they are not using a foundation account OR representing themselves as being part of it.

        That is pretty standard in any organization I've been part of leadership with, when speaking on a matter there has to be clarity if speaking personally or as part of the group leadership.

          Yes I understand, just wanted it to be clear in the text so that it's simple and there can be no doubt :)

              It means board members can't go around campaigning for witness votes based on their service on the board.

                I mean, you could potentially glean that from the text, but why not just add something close to what you have written as a point. Make it clear :D

                  I'll clear it up if the proposal gets voted in. I don't think I can edit it right now. All the entire bottom regarding ethics is supposed to do is make sure people can't game the foundation. They should care about the community and ecosystem, not about their own interests. Hopefully it'll simply repel those out for a quick buck.

                    Understood. Less game, more honest action :)
