        I don't hear any suggestion to change it. So most likely to be

        The page at foundation.gnome.org definitely need to be updated

P.S. The membership committe should response with proposal forwarded by
Telsa last Friday before the board meet again this week if possible.
[ sepaking to myself too: I will try to do it today ;) ]
