I agree.

Therefore we will complete an *open call for volunteers* and will translate
and communicate giving enough time to all our members on our supported
lists.

In my opinion *the motion haven't pass yet *as have only 3 valid votes in
favor: Walter as 1 of the 4 candidates
<https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2017-2019-candidates>for the
2017-2019 elections should abstain to avoid any direct interference with
the current election process he is participating in.

I don't understand. All vote are counted valid until after election, he is
still SLOB.

Everyone has the right to vote on motion until they lose seat. If i want
use your words against you. Meaning we only have 3 valid voters (Me, you
and Ignacio) and we can't pass any motion with 3 out of 7 seat.

So no need for this statement.


Again, *I would support a motion for new members as long as they are Sugar
Labs members in "good standing" and have made a volunteer request to be
part of the Committee on a OPEN, inclusive and transparent way. *.

Good but this three already showed interest and we should use what we have
before we wait for others.
