I know there will be a lot of members of the Foundation not attending GUADEC.  
I would like to know if there are any provisions for a proxy or absentee 
voting system for any actions that will be voted on such as adopting the 
bylaws.  I also think it would be good to post an agenda along with a list of 
actions the board will recommend that the Foundation approve.

If the membership of the Foundation will be holding an annual meeting, I would 
like to see it moved around the world.  GUADEC is an European conference and 
therefore will not be convient for members from Australia or Japan or America 
to attend.  Since we have members from around the globe it would be purdent to 
rotate this annual meeting to different parts of the world on a regular basis.
