The recent petition has clearly shown that almost 90% of the Project has confidence in the current Board and their previously stated direction and intent.
I disagree.
It has shown that only 10% of the members think that throwing, brexit-style, the biggest wrench they can find into the gearbox, would be a good idea. There is no indication that 90% of the members think the current setup is the best idea since sliced bread.
You can't distinguished who for whatever reason ignored the petition (without (much) thinking about it), and how many actively decided *not/ to support the petition. The rules were clear from the beginning - convince 20% of members to support the petition. Starters and supporters of the petition failed in this. So that IMHO speculations and statistical or sociological discussions can't change clear democratic decision. See e.g. much much attention average referenda attracts in various countries. If ~50%, it's great success. The results do not say anything about possible future changes in the project. But it might be good starting point for future discussion. The question must be "What *do* we wish?" and not "What we *do not* wish?". The Board should learn from what had (has?) happened in past ~half year and whole project *must* move forward, otherwise it might die painful death in crappy personal fights...
Thank you for this nice explanation! The petition is done and we are not able to change that. We have to accept it. Therefore, especially the Board "and we" have to learn from that what has happened. I agree with Seife and Carlos. 11,6% is not "nobody". That is a small part of the community and more than 1 person. In my opinion, the Board should accept that as a feedback and (as Klaas said) they should think about their decisions in the past. That is more something as a second chance. But I agree with the others, too: "We had enough discussions about this topic and should look forward." Best regards, Sarah
