Re: [board] Re: OWV2 3rd Workshop Minutes

[Jean-Pierre.Laisne@xxxxxxxx]

Dear Francois,

 

Thanks for your input.

 

I just would like to remind you that all co-founders of V2 where present during our last meeting and that all of them are board members of V1. And decision has been taken to move forward. For your information there were other OW members who staid until the end of the Workshop and who can justify about the regularity of the debates and the fairness of these decisions.

 

So the process is fully respected i.e. approval of bylaws by co-founders of V2 and (de facto) approval of the bylaws by board of directors. Of course all documents are available to all members for comment. And of course any member having something to say about this process is welcome to expose the issues he has identified.

 

So far I let Cedric Thomas keep on doing the good job to register in the shortest time the new organisation which everybody asks for.

 

Best regards,

 

JPL.

Dear all,

two quick comments (as I was unable to attend the end of the workshop).

Although involving the community (through a
contest) is good for sake of inclusiveness, the
question of the name should not be taken lightly.
I'm not convinced we can deal with the underlying
(legal, communication) issues without proper
support from specialists nor with sufficient budget and delay.

In terms of bylaws registration process: the MoUs
signed with potential strategic members mention two decision points [1]:
- 'finalization' of the candidate bylaws by the
OWv2 co-founders (signatories of the MoU as defined in the MoUs themselves [2])
- approval of the bylaws by the OWv1 board of directors.
I strongly recommend to stick to this agenda (and
give sufficient time to all parties involved) -
which I don't see confirmed in the workshop
minutes. Even though the MoUs are 'non binding',
OWv2 would be built on a more solid ground if it
demonstrates capacity to let all parties agree on
commitments and stick to these commitments from
day 1: sticking to the terms of the MoUs would be a good start.

Best regards

[1] [signing a Definitive Association Membership
Agreement] will take place within thirty (30)
days of acceptance by ObjectWeb's Board of
Directors of the bylaws finalized by the cofounders of ObjectWeb V2.
[2] "By entering in this MoU, the Candidate
Member declares that it is interested in being a
cofounder and Strategic Member of the new association."
