I would encourage you to try yoga @issou. I think you would benefit from it greatly.

???

I’m perfectly calm when I post my message.

So you mean that if we agree with NF, we are calm and if we dont agree, we should do yoga ??

It is what you do since you are president. You just try to ridicule the ones who give legit argument that dont go your way, by saying thing like:

  • You are a troll
  • You must do yoga

Looks like the kind of answers we can find on a random thread of twitter.
So profesionnal for a president.

Not at all, the harassment has been going on for OVER a year, legally a statement needed to be made. This is the Foundation’s legal stance.

there are more important topics of discussion for the community, if you have something with former members of the Foundation, they can solve it in a court, but the members want to know important things, not this kind of discussions and accusations between new and old members of the council. I personally don’t care about Lon and company’s old tyranny mandate, I am interested in Symbol’s future, I as an entrepreneur know that when the company has internal discussions it impacts on customers, investors and partners (i.e. members and the whole Nem ecosystem) I think we are fed up and tired of being in the news because of dirty business, economic rescues and hacking.
Let’s hope that Symbol leaves behind the bad reputation that Nem has earned over the past two years. I´m NOT ACCUSING ANYONE( I LIKE ALEX AND HIS ADVISORS, I SUPPORT AND I VOTED FOR ALEX AND ESPECIALLY PEDRO GUTIERREZ)

For context, the NEM Foundation lawyers are the ones that advised having us post the statement due to continuous cyber libel, defamation, and harassment toward many team members for over a year. It’s not just the community that doesn’t want this situation. Nobody in the NEM Foundations wants to deal with the distraction of this during the launch of Symbol and what it means to the future of the ecosystem. Nobody wants to have NEM Foundation funding go to a lawsuit. It should go to supporting the devs, products and future for Symbol and NIS1. The only way to move forward is for the behavior to stop. I hope this helps focus the energy of some toward building the future, instead of doing the opposite.

Thanks for your feedback, Eddy.

I like the current squad. They work well together.
One most also remember it take time for a team to form and get to know each other.
All the big companies try their best to get a well formed team going, build momentum and then consistently kick **s. You may have brilliant individuals but if they cannot work as a team, then they will fail. Hardest part is to get people to get to know each other, get use to the processes/governance, get a velocity going and maintaining stable speed of delivery. One of the biggest factors are time, to get this done. Best would be to try and maintain the same team.

Thanks @joseng62, it takes time for the team to be high performing and a lof or work as Laura mentioned, is unseen. As @tresto mentioned, what is important is the result and as we work towards working on Symbol and manage all the changes, we hope the results will show.

Hi Jason. I have a question. Do regular members of the Foundation have the right to request removal of directors?

I think that should be seen in the Foundation’s bylaws. I think that a majority group of members would be logical if we could decide by vote to move or dismiss the board members

With the coronavirus crisis I imagine it will be a perfect excuse to delay the launch of symbol. But no. Teleworking won’t stop the launch this Q2 quarter, will it?

I answered this on Twitter but wanted to answer here too. We are a fully distributed and decentralized global team. NEM Foundation mostly works remotely. Those that work in an office have been asked to work from home and not go into the office due to Coronavirus concerns. Progress updates will continue to come from the Tech team as the platform progresses. Timelines should be considered fluid and not locked in stone.

Q3 still launch symbol?

Alexandra Tinsman has done a really good job forming and leading the new NEM Foundation thus far. I would vote for her again just because the current mother ship is already heading to the right direction and it needs to be set on full-throttle ahead—I’m afraid that forming a totally new team would mean idle-time period and/or slow build-up of the speed going forward.

If there’s any points of improvement, I’d say that the transparency and the frequency of communication towards the community (and vice-verse) can be improved. Uncertainties and built-up tensions among community members in the past could have been dissolved much quicker, in my opinion.

Again, hat off to the her and all of the team members. Their hard works—tirelessly, and literally, around the clock—should be appreciated much often.
