So, I'm going to hold my tongue here and reply to the "binding" issue again on the mailing list. Thread here
Let's say we have Alice and Bob. Alice is eager to support the idea of a NFP, has experience in various societies/clubs already and knows what to do. Bob, however, has been a developer since the 770 days - he just wants to make sure that whilst there are users of his software they can get updates, and he can have the appropriate services to engage with his users and manage his project. Alice would be willing to serve on a council transitioning maemo.org to a NFP. Bob would be willing to serve on a council which is taking a migratory approach. How will they work together? Both of them are volunteers, why should they expect to be bound by a vote [which they don't support]?
