These are great points, Robin. Waiting until the end of September makes perfect sense. I am also hoping that the newfound committee may be a bit more diverse than the leadership so far. Your nominations are noted and I am pleased to see these names in the pool. In the event we do not get the quorum from the Management Board members, we may have to consider encouraging a vote from the consortium membership instead, and/or the broader LA* mailing list membership.

Best,

Ico

I agree, also in some places there are already summer vacations. Perhaps
end of September is a better target, with a deadline for nominations by
end of August.

I hereby nominate Fons Adriansen (kokkinizita), Milkii Brewster
(https://libreav.org/), and Nils Hilbricht (https://sonoj.org/).

Given their diverse talents in community management, software
development, web-design and conference organization, they may also make
a good team to push the consortium forward.

according to http://linuxaudio.org/policy.html

"Should a management decision be put to a vote, each representative will
have one vote, with the Chair having a casting vote in the event of a tie."

In the past the "Management Board" met every year at LAC (more or less),
but at this point in time it is somewhat unclear who is still active:

Various members have announced their resignation already a few years ago.
