Back to the discussion on procedures for the PMC. Based on the emails so far, it seems to me that there are a three proposals that meet both our objectives.
Noel has suggested a majority voting process that is based on
the Board process that includes the notion of quorum based on
Apache bylaws Section 5.8. Quorum and Voting (i.e. 50% of
PMC members).
You have also suggested a qualified majority (2/3) process that
also includes the notion of a quorum. In an earlier email you
referenced quorum in relation to Apache bylaws Section 3.9
dealing with general members (i.e. 33% of the PMC).
A third proposal from Sam Ruby is based on auto-PMC-membership,
majority voting rules and presumably a fixed quorum of 3.
Looking at the three proposals, can we take pieces from all?
* Auto PMC membership for committers who have been active for at least six months. * Charter and Bylaw voting time period is a week * A motion passes with 2/3 majority vote of quorum * In the event that quorum cannot be met, voting remains open until quorum is met. * Size of quorum shall be [insert your percentage here], with a floor of 3 people (i.e. if percentage of PMC is less than three, then Quorum is still 3) BTW, what percentage of PMC membership would you like to see for quorum? 50% or 33%? I am flexible on this point. --------------------------------------------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance 1st month Free!
