- The proposal is to widen the pool from which the Foundation can attract candidates to stand for election
as directors, by allowing individuals who are not currently Foundation members to submit their candidacy for
election. This change is intended to bring new skills and experience into the governance of the Foundation.
At present, Foundation membership is granted principally based on contributions to the GNOME project which
means the process selects for skills already present in our community, such as software development, design,
translation, documentation or engagement. Whilst we do have some members who also bring experience at
fundraising, nonprofit governance and establishing partnerships with external organizations, they are in the
minority. The Board would like to establish additional pathways to try and attract individuals with these
skills into the Foundation.

<li>The election process is changed such that no more than 30% of the board roles can be filled by
directors who are not members at the time of the election. Should this happen the runner-up member candidate
will be considered instead, similar to the existing affiliation limit. At present with a board of 7, this is
a maximum of two seats</li>
<li>Nominations are changed such that member nominees must be seconded by one existing member, and
non-member nominees must be seconded by 5% of members, up to a maximum of 5</li>
