[ Thanks. I am just wondering about the specifics below]
The Board is tasked via the Fedora Trademark Guidelines with various
responsibilities which it takes seriously. I plan to ask Red Hat legal
what other arrangements they might be agreeable to where perhaps
another group of Fedora contributors could be tasked with these
responsibilities but I believe it is important for these
responsibilities to rest in the Fedora community somewhere.
Did the board suggest any changes that didn't originate from Red Hat Legal and has been adopted? If this is being done on active basis, it is indeed an important thing to do but I am not sure it requires as many board members.
Someone needs to be in a position to resolve disputes within the
community and that responsibility now resides with the Board. While we
have created a Community Working Group to help resolve disputes it is
specifically designed to do mediation, not to do arbitration, make
judgments, or enforce sanctions. The Board gets to be the bad guy and
fortunately that obligation is seldom neede
Either the board should delegate entirely or not have a separate group IMO.
FESCo has oversight of the technical direction of the products Fedora
produces, the Board has oversight over the rest of the project. This
is an area where I think the Board should probably be a lot more
active than it has been historically.
I can't recall any examples in the last several years.
