 infinisil | * Claes I'm not on the moderation team, but could you just contact me privately about your worries? I'd like to hear you out, but I don't think this is the place to discuss it | 09:09:17 |
 Claes | I didn't intend to make this into a moderation thread. I just wanted to get the clarification about the importance of accountability. If the foundation includes that dimension in its instructions to the assembly its would be very good. | 09:09:47 |

| infinisil | Claes Ah I see! The answer to that is that the foundation doesn't _want_ to give any such directions, because it's explicitly giving up this power. The new governance structure will be able to decide these things. | 09:11:07 |
| infinisil | The constitutional assembly doesn't make the rules. It just decides who _can_ make the rules | 09:12:26 |
 lassulus | It's basically the group which decides who can elect. What do we elect and how are doing it | 09:13:26 |

| infinisil | Of course, there's a lot of trust involved in that. Some ideas floating around is that we should have a sizable chunk of external people that are experienced with community governance building, so that we can learn from other communities. | 09:15:13 |
| Claes | Yes but that is where accountability comes in. I understand the assembly to define a kind of constitution for the assembly and who will have which mandate? | 09:16:10 |

| infinisil | Claes Yeah something like that. This will all happen in public :) | 09:18:07 |
| Claes | In any case, I will write you infinisil: | 09:18:20 |
| infinisil | Awesome, thanks! ❤️
Note that I really need to get back to sleep now, but I'll definitely get back to you! | 09:19:33 |

 ronef | A few notes as we try to keep everything as open, updated and transparent as possible.
We are reading all posts of constructive feedback, and opinion. Hopefully to be taken into account as we move forward in the coming weeks.
We are now live conversing on how to establish the process of choosing the assembly.
I am also trying to figure out how to have super public conversations while also keeping them on track so please feel free to provide feedback on that as I know we can keep improving that. | 17:42:44 |

| Janik (they/them) | Usually I would just dm one of the board member or post this in a private channel because it's a lower hurdle, but we want to increase our transparency so I'll post this here instead:
Hey, we need to fill out some forms for Google Summer of Code payments, those contain legally binding agreements and banking information. I forwarded the google email to foundation@nixos.org, if desired we can also schedule a call for this, shouldn't take more then ~30mins total. We have to do this before 13.05.2024. Can one of the board members ack' me that they will deal with this?

| ronef | Acking :P | 23:19:28 |
