What am I missing? >From the bottom of the page: 6 members with full voting: 2 appointed by community for engineering and outreach project areas, 2 elected by community at large, and 2 appointed and paid by Red Hat (FPL and FCAI). 4-6 members with binding votes in areas related to their role: 2-4 appointed by the Council. 1 hired by Red Hat, and 1 appointed by the Council (possibly using a selection committee) I'm not sure which of those your "2 (elected) vs 4 (appointed)" are. Additionally, as we discussed in the IRC board meeting (see http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2014-09-29/board.2014-09-29-17.00.html) the new decision-making process focuses on voice, and discussion and listening when there are differences of opinion. That gives considerably more weight to both the elected and merit-based representative positions. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
