Sorry Gerry,
IMHO you have go this wrong. The 20% do not overturn the board they simply trigger a vote of no confidence which still has to be won by a majority of the whole membership to overturn the board.

That is NOT what this says:

Fellow openSUSE members,
For those who are struggling with the process. What is happening in simple bullet points is:
Our Election rules state:
If 20 per cent or more of the openSUSE members require a new board, an election will be held for the complete elected Board seats.
**So this is simply a petition to see if 20% of the members require a new board.**
* If you want to sign the petition - cast a vote. * If you don't want to sign the petition for whatever reason - don't vote * If 20% or more of the members sign the petition (by casting a vote) then, an election for the complete Board seats will be triggered. * If less than 20% of the members sign the petition, then an election only for the vacant seats will be triggered.
As a former Editor and Journalist, I assure you that reads the way I just outlined, not what you say in the top paragraph here. -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Member aka Fraser_Bell on the Forums, OBS, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org Fraser-Bell on Github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
