  Read the by-laws if you want to go through a formal objection !
You have to raise a corum of people objecting the decision, then in that
case a vote will be done. So far you are 2 persons and not a corum, 
hence my mail asking other people to raise their voice especially
if they disagree.
  RTFM :-)

   pp24 ARTICLE XVI amendment (iii)
----------
(iii)In the event that five percent or more of the members objects to the
proposal, a special meeting of the members shall be convened in accordance
with the provisions of Article VII, and the proposal shall be voted upon;
----------

  2 persons does not represent 5 percent of the foundation membership.
