Hi,

Not a council member, but still, answering the question(s):
  • The process for requesting a referendum is here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ection_process It's unclear how the process gets kicked off, but the short story is:

    Changes to any of the above rules must be approved by community referendum.
    1. Voting in such referenda will be open to anyone eligible to vote in the council elections.
    2. The referendum options must be debated for a minimum of 1 month prior to the referendum.
    3. Referendum voting will be open for the same length of time as the council elections.

    To request a referendum, make a proposal to the council for a referendum topic.
  • Whether an individual "merges" with meego (by becoming more active there, and less active here) is an individual choice. As fewer people are active here, interest in Mer, Maemo and the forums will decrease, and more people will "merge". If no-one moves, then Meego will have been a failure from the point of view of providing Maemo community members with a compelling alternative to contribute to. It makes, in my opinion, no sense to vote on this issue.

Dave.
