ITEM: Rebranding
The change to the by-laws failed the vote. It's important to note here that the result wasn't a case of people voting no, but a direct result of the by-law we were trying to change which would have made member votes dependent on the results amongst members who actively voted (right now, members who did not vote yes or no are taken into account). So, we're now looking into some alternative ways in order to accomplish re-branding without changing the name of the foundation itself for the time being
