<li>Elections - Motion from Philipp to update the election
organization/association/unit rules to add MZLA: The 'Mozilla
Corporation' [1], the 'Mozilla Foundation', and ‘MZLA
Technologies’ are (considered) separate companies for purposes
of "professional affiliation". Motion passed: 5 yes, 1 abstain</li>
</ul>
A motion was put forward by Philipp, who has a conflict of
interest. Then it should also never have been seconded. And at
least 3 people would have had to abstain for conflict of interest
on this vote because they are employed by the entities in
question. </blockquote>
<p>That rule was agreed upon for two simple reasons:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>prevent that an inner circle of staff on council from driving
up the salaries for them selves<br>
</li>
<li>prevent a rough takeover by some 3rd party</li>
</ul>
<p>None of these reasons have any relevance across the Mozilla
organizational borders: MZLA does not set salaries for MoFo/MoCo
employees or any other way around. MoFo, nor MoCo could (within
reasonable fantasy) have any reason to want to do a rough
takeover.</p>
