Voting members and voting.
A subset of the SIG will be voting members and be able to vote on issues
brought up for a vote before the SIG.
Voting members are anyone who is an operator in any of the above
listed channels (4 channels as of 2012-05-11), the FPL (Fedora Project
Leader) and any sitting Fedora Board member. Voting members should
remember to listen to the community as a whole when making decisions.
In all cases (aside from promoting/removing members), broad consensus
should be attempted first and if no clear consensus can be reached a vote
should be taken. All new operator/voting member tickets require a vote.
Items requring votes.
All tickets requiring a vote must have a minimum of 8 days before
final voting this will allow for two meetings, one for discussion and one
for voting. The ticket should include the discussion meeting date and
voting meeting date. At this time meetings are held on Thursdays, a ticket
filed on Tuesday or Wednesday does not have to be discussed at that
Thursday's meeting at the discretion of the nominator and/or the primary
chair for that week's meeting. Should the primary chair of the discussion
or voting meeting feel more time is needed they have the option of
extending the discussion period there by changing the vote date, this
should be noted in the ticket description.
Voting members and the community will have a chance to discuss
items requiring a vote in an open forum at the discussion meeting prior to
casting their vote.
After the discussion meeting the ticket will be voted on by using
the ticket system and the final voting meeting. A +1 means a yay (yes) and
a -1 means a nay (no) with a +0 abstain option. Any final issues should be
brought up on the ticket during this period.
At the final voting meeting, all votes from the ticket will be
tallied and voting members will be queried for votes if they have not or
if they would like to change their posted vote on the ticket. These ticket
items should be brought up as the last order of business for the final
voting meeting before the open floor. Wherein the ticket is either passed
or denied based on the majority of votes. The final voting meeting is not
a time for discussion, all discussion should be taken care of at the
discussion meeting or on the nomination ticket prior to the final voting
meeting.
Operator/voting member tickets.
New operators/voting members are nominated by filing a ticket as
above. Please include the nominee's primary IRC nick and what channels
they are being nominated for in the ticket subject. Nominees are
encouraged to be active on the ticket for their nomination and to attend
the discussion meeting so they can respond to any questions or address any
concerns if they are able, this is not required.
Existing operators/voting members can be removed in roughly the
same way as the process to add them. Inactive members can be removed if
their is a majority vote to do so here.
When and if other channels wish to join the sig, rules for that can be
added.
