Next steps

Hello,

Yesterday, I promised[1] to post a plan for the next weeks here.

We need to do these things:

1. Split apart our proposals into chunks that can be accepted/rejected
separately

2. Verify that these chunks contain no interdependencies

3. Review the proposals, and our todo lists, for additional changes that
should be made.

4. Draft some explanatory documents that describe the problems that
exist and how our proposals aim to solve them, as well as alternative
viewpoints.

In our report[2] last July, our proposals were put forth. You can find
a copy of those proposals at [3].

To get started on splitting them, I propose that we divide them as
follows:

* Article 4: Board meeting quorum and meeting rule updates

* Article 5: Public notice requirement strenghening

* Article 7: Board and officer election procedures

These chunks appear to not contain any inter-dependencies, so if you
disagree with that split, please comment ASAP.
