Would Kristen or Sankel like to prepare their side of things from the Boost Foundation?
As we proceed with the review process to determine whether the Alliance should assume governance of the Boost project, I'd like to highlight some things. Since unpublished proposals inherit the context of the Foundation's questionable track record, it could be premature to entertain said proposals at this time. The Foundation has not presented any new ideas or plans since they voted (with just four board members) on June 12 to "cut ties with the Alliance." The two-month period that followed has resulted in unclear intentions and nothing concrete for addressing Boost's needs. Far from cutting ties, it is the Alliance that pays for Boost's download hosting. Instead, we might focus solely on whether the Alliance is a suitable replacement for the Foundation. If our review outcome indicates otherwise, future proposals can be decided in new reviews. This process is not about soliciting bids from multiple organizations, but rather preserving the ability to continue delivering proven results with existing leadership. Let's avoid perpetuating a narrative that could discourage others from future investments in big, risky Boost improvements by sending the wrong message about governance. Thanks
