By the way, why "articles of association" can be changed by either Board or GA? Shouldn't it be Council or GA, then, since Board is to execute rulings of GA and Council?

It's just plenty of confusion. While Board and Council are familiar concepts, GA is not.

Best wishes. Thank you.

in my view, the "General-Assembly" is intended to be the community but in reality will be whoever has an interest in the continued running of *.maemo.org,

"the community"* controls the GA, if you are worried they are pushing things in the wrong direction then you need to become an active member and push back. it is intentionally a slow process to allow malicious moves to be blocked by simple majority rules. this is in-fact my biggest problem with council as it is now, it has a rapid cycle for "orders to board", and has no equally fast way for community to block them.


*with membership limitations that are intended to prevent abuse.
