Ja, ich verstehe, dass dies für manche, die die in diesem Text 
dargestellten Werte als ihre eigenen ansehen oder die das Gefühl haben, 
dass diese Werte mit ihren persönlichen und kulturellen Werten 
kompatibel sind, schwer verständlich sein kann.  Ich werde jetzt, da 
der Vorstand diesen Text als Grundwerte-Dokument der OSMF angenommen 
hat (wobei mir nicht ganz klar ist, ob diese über der OSMF-Mission 
stehen oder ihr untergeordnet sind - in beiden Fällen gibt es da 
gewisse Konflikte) diesen sicherlich tiefergehender analysieren.

Non-authoritive English translation from deepl.com:

Yes, I understand that this may be difficult to understand for some who 
consider the values presented in this text as their own or who feel 
that these values are compatible with their personal and cultural 
values.  Now that the Board has adopted this text as an OSMF core 
values document (although I'm not entirely clear whether they are above 
or below the OSMF mission - in either case there are certain 
conflicts), I will certainly analyze it more deeply.
