A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following matter.

Background:

Previously we voted on adjusting the FSA to change the list of people who can vote for the PLC positions to be a list maintained by the PLC instead of the AUTHORS file. We sent that to the SFC and they recommended some slight changes. They’d like to see the URL there, but with a mechanism to change it without going through the whole FSA change procedure.

Proposal:

Amend the FSA section 6 paragraph 2 from:

Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to the Inkscape community, which is comprised solely of individuals listed in the Project’s AUTHORS file (“Inkscape Community”).

to:

Committee members (“Members”) shall be elected by the contributors to the Inkscape community, which is comprised solely of individuals listed on the following URL on the Project’s website (“Inkscape Community”), or such other URL as provided to Conservancy by the Authorized Representative upon unanimous approval of the Committee: https://inkscape.org/*membership/list.txt
