Sure. The important thing is (for me) that it provides
a stick for the
community in the unlikely event that there is a problem .
Having that stick will force the board to respect the wishes of the
community. In software communities (which is where I am most
comfortable) the stick is the ability to fork the code. That's not the
case here.
Indeed - the foundation does have the power (eventually) to let a new
chapter take over even without the consent of the old one. That is,
effectively, a fork, it just requires more paperwork!
My concerns have been alleviated and I've signed
up as a potential
guarantor member.
Excellent news!
