1) proposed change to § 4.1 Council Elections Subsection 6 : when nominating self for council must declare interest ...
- such as working for Nokia
+ such as working for a company involved in Maemo-related software development (option 1, your)
+ such as working for a company involved in Maemo-related software or hardware development (option 2, mine)

no problem with this change, i don't see why it needs a referendum, most people would simply agree

2) proposed change to § 4.1 Council Elections Subsection 12 : Changes to any of the above rules must be approved by...
- a referendum by everyone registered on garage (= all passive members)
+ general assembly meeting or passive members meeting (your option)

agreed with your option i think, because these rules are legally binding and any changes should be by people with an identity

this is a little worth a referendum because it's a politically significant change of peoples' rights

what? i found this, it is a document for council, it's not legally binding for eV - i do not see a reason to change this item

3) the rest of this discussion is odd, as mentioned before i wouldn't require all council members to join mcev while leaving its roles as is (including being elected by all registered eligible garage users) as if what it asks is illegal then the board can refuse to fullfill its requests anyway

so i am glad you posted your referendum version, it sets aside a lot of noise
