I can&#39;t imagine any of the individual members being disrespectful towards other<br>
members or board suggestions. Would never happen. &lt;/sarcasm&gt;<br>
<br>
Did the members vote on this? The article doesn&#39;t say how the bilaws were changed.<br>

&gt;&gt; Very disappointed with this:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;Up until recently, the Linux Foundation allowed the individual members<br>
&gt;&gt; to elect two board members and ensure that the voice of Linux community<br>
&gt;&gt; is considered at the board meetings. In a shocking change, the<br>
&gt;&gt; Foundation has erased this clause and decided to benefit the corporate<br>
&gt;&gt; companies rather that whole community.&quot;<br>
