#12: Fedora Council Charter Draft: collect concerns for revisions in preparation for vote ------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: mattdm Status: new | Priority: critical Component: Board Meta | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by inode0): Replying to [comment:15 mattdm]: > Replying to [comment:13 inode0]: > > Replying to [comment:12 mattdm]: > > > My concern is with the same people being elected continuously on name recognition rather than on platform; it's easy to fall into this.

Aren't they subject to the same thing potentially happening? > > I have that concern there too, but it's balanced somewhat by a desire for continuity in the positions that are directly representative of the outreach and building halves of the project, and by the fact that those positions will be chosen by the active committees in those areas. I don't know how the outreach and building groups will select representatives from what I've read so far. The proposal does not call for committee selection. While FESCo naturally subsumes all of the distro/product building groups, FAmSCo is just an ambassador body. Thus far I haven't heard what to me is a compelling reason to treat the two seats elected directly by the entire community differently. Part of the expressed responsibility of those seats will be to pursue specific goals advertised during the election process. What if those goals don't have a timetable that can be effectively achieved in one year? I don't see any reason to structurally prevent the community at large from saying this person has done good work toward those goals and we would like him/her to continue for another year. Perhaps the community would simply prefer continuity in its representation too. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/12#comment:16> board <https://fedorahosted.org/board> Fedora Project Board Public Tickets _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
