#9: board vote on reorganization proposals ---------------------+------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------- As discussed at Flock in Prague and on the board-discuss mailing list (see [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-August/thread.html August] and [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-September/thread.html September] archives), there are several proposals on the table for reorganizing the board in order to enable more effective leadership. These are summarized on the mailing list [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-August/012768.html here] and (a little more loosely) [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-September/012792.html here]. None of these are completely worked out, but at this point in order to move forward, we should choose one of these directions and work on filling in the details. I know that not all of these details are minutia; some are important to actually accepting a given proposal. So, please do vote but also highlight features which you feel are vital in the new arrangement (put those as * bullet points in your comment). The three proposals are: A. The Flock Proposal (as outlined [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-August/012768.html in this message]) B. The Two-Body Proposal (also outlined [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-August/012768.html in that message]) C. Flock Proposal with formalized (usually "lazy") consensus decision making instead of FPL as sole decider (as explained [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/board- discuss/2014-September/012792.html here] ---- Please vote either +1, -1, or 0, for "support", "opposed", and "acceptable but not preferred" for each of these, followed by any essential components. Like this (note not my actual vote): A: +1 B: -1 C: 0 * FPL must wear funny hat or decisions are null ---- Then, we'll move forward with the proposal which is approved with the most support, and fill in the details for member selection, decision making, continuity, and so on. If any of the bullet points turn out to be particularly contentious or controversial, we can talk about them further, but I think from the conversation to date that no one has anything surprising so I'm not going to worry about that. ---- Non-board members: please continue to discuss on the mailing list and refrain from commenting in this ticket, just for cleanliness and simplicity -- let's keep the discussion in one place. Board members: I said earlier that we should have a direction chosen by the second week in September, which turns out to be now. Please give your votes by Wednesday.
