[Fsfe-uk] Resignation from AFFS committee

[MJ Ray]

I resigned from the AFFS committee from last Monday. I will be working 
on other free software development projects, particularly marketing 
and projects which make me money or improve my life. I'll also be 
spending more time on local environment projects.

My company is the AFFS postal address and I'm happy to continue 
handling post promptly - either scanning, acting on or reposting - for 
as long as I am able. The committee need to reassign membership and 
financial management and give a forwarding address, but they've not 
decided any of those yet, as far as I know, 2 weeks after getting my 
resignation notice.

A longer explanation may follow soon. Basically, "Committee does not 
have to stick by decisions that it has made" is the dominant view now, 
apparently meaning that you can idle and then, if you don't like a 
past agreement, you just ignore it. That approach caused too many 
problems for me.

IIRC, my resignation means that 6 members can be elected at the AGM 
and only 5 continuing members (some of whom are good anyway), so new 
members will be a majority and can solve the problems. AFFS needs to 
be efficient (to help finance things well) and open (to support the 
community).

Submit your nominations to the secretary via address@hidden and 
email your offered promises to address@hidden, please.
