Hi, thanks for responding.
My position on this is that basically, I don't trust the prevailing corporate mechanisms on this planet to deliver integrity - I have seen too many examples of them failing. So that's why I am interested in getting into the details so as to attempt to make something better. For me, the idea of 'asking for a vote' is not one that I see as effective... It seems like the same kind of situation we have with national governments where people 'beg and plead' to be listened to.. Even after 4 months of rioting in France, the 'people's government' TM are still sending in shock troops against the huge numbers of people involved, instead of engaging as mature adults.

To clarify: "A petition from membership at large can request a vote for removal of board members" - Does this mean that people who have paid to join the foundation can ask the board members to hold a vote to find out if the board are going to be sacked?

The design for the foundation is totally open and many people think totally differently to each other - so it is definitely helpful to spell out as much as possible. Cheers!
