I support the following statements:
-
Changes must be made to the current Foundation, and they must be made in a way that benefits the Secret ecosystem consistent with our original mission: growing the network and supporting its members.
-
If new entities are being set up, they must be resourced appropriately for their success and their structure should be considered extremely carefully. This should not be done on the fly - the desired end state and the strategic reasoning behind it should be known ASAP, hence my many questions above.
-
My opinion at this time is that a portion of the resources of the Foundation (as it currently is structured) should be used to support the future structure and operations of whatever entity or entities result from this process, PROVIDED there is clarity as to how it/they is/are expected to operate, who will operate and control it/them, appropriate timelines for a transition, clarity on trustees and controls, etc. Foundation employees have also asked for clarity before committing themselves to participating in any transition, and their questions have been included in my list above.
I have made other statements elsewhere reflecting my thoughts on next steps as well.
