Dear XSF members, At today's Board meeting we made progress on the EU legal structure evaluation. Here is a brief summary of where things stand and what happens next. *What was agreed* The Board has adopted a finalised set of evaluation criteria. These will be used to compare and assess the five proposals currently documented on the wiki. Full descriptions of each criterion are now on the wiki page that also links each proposal: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XSF_EU_Legal_Transition_Proposal *The process going forward* 1. Proposal authors self-assess their proposal against the criteria. 2. The Board and members review and validate those assessments. 3. The Board narrows to one or two preferred options and issues a recommendation to members. 4. Members receive a final opportunity to weigh in. 5. The Board makes a final decision. *Call to action for proposal authors*If you are the author of one of the five proposals, we are asking you to prepare a self-assessment of your proposal against the criteria listed above and share it on this mailing list. If you have questions about the criteria or the process, feel free to reply to this thread. Thank you all for your continued patience and engagement with this process. Kind regards, Guus der Kinderen on behalf of the XSF Board
