Consultation on bylaw amendment: allow non-member directors

[Robert McQueen <ramcq gnome org>]

Dear GNOME Foundation Members,

The Board is proposing a change to the bylaws that will allow non-
members of the GNOME Foundation to stand for election as Directors,
provided their nomination is seconded by a current member.

To amend the bylaws, members have 21 days to review the proposed
changes, which will be adopted at 12:00 UTC on May 16th 2022 unless
enough objections are raised.

You may review the proposed changes here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/foundation-web/-/merge_requests/3

For more details, including the opportunity make comments, ask
questions, and learn how to raise a formal objection, please use the 
GNOME Discourse forum here:

Many Thanks,
Rob
President, GNOME Foundation Board of Directors
