What Reggie and Nokia have negotiated is that Nokia assumes the hosting costs (no ads in talk.maemo.org) and funds a certain amount of hours from Reggie, that he invests in administrative tasks, or whatever he feels like doing. We haven't ever discussed about content or moderation rules dictated by Nokia and that would have been a horrible idea. Remember that ITT merged with maemo.org at the same time that maemo.org was handled to the community, and actually that merge was an important part of the equation to have a community driven maemo.org.
Thank you Quim for providing more clarity on this to me.
Expanding on the position that I originally expressed in my nomination/declaration:

If elected I will push for a strong, more focused community voice from within the forums.

I will also do my very best to use our forums as a better conduit for Nokia-generated information and will do so using the tools available to any member of the forums and under the same rules and guidelines presented by our independent, Forum Administration.

As I wrote earlier, I think the best style of leadership in these matters is leadership by example...
