Changes in the Board of Directors of the SPO Fund

In line with the previously proposed process for changing the management of the ACT Foundation, Geoffrey Knauth, President of the ACT Foundation, announced the addition of a new voting member to the Board of Directors to represent the views of the staff and was selected by the staff of the ACT Foundation. System administrator Ian Kelling joined the council.

At the same time, lawyer Kat Walsh, who took part in the creation of the Creative Commons 4.0 license, was a member of the board of trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation and the governing board of the Xiph.org Foundation, was announced to leave the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation. Kat noted that the departure should not be taken as a rejection of the ideas of free software. The move was the result of a long and difficult realization that the role she played in the organization was no longer the best way to promote free software in the world. Kat believes that the Free Software Foundation needs changes to address the existing problems, but she is not the person who was able to implement these changes.

Additionally, it can be noted that the number of signatories of the letter in support of Stallman significantly exceeded the number of signatories of the letter against - 3693 signed for Stallman, 2811 against.
