[Osmf-talk] OSMF Articles of Association - Discussion on Revision for 2013 AGM - Prevention of "hostile" takeovers

[Simon Poole]

No feedback and discussion? If that is really the case I would close
this part of the process.

As a next step the board will finalize a summary of the points we've
discussed and submit it to our counsel to be turned into a concrete
legal document.
