This has already been churned over - the conclusion was the introduction
of a extension period of one week if the initial vote does not meet
quorum. Here is the extract of the details concerning vote duration that
address this point.
(f) Vote Duration
Any vote conducted by the PMC may be closed within 7 days of its
initiation providing that quorum has been met in accordance with
Article 1 (b). A vote not meeting quorum during the initial 7
day period shall default to a 14 day duration. On expiration of
a 14 day vote duration, if quorum has not been achieved, the
vote shall be consider as a failed vote.
The desire is to ensure we don't have long running votes, but ensure
adequate time for participation.
Steve, I don't think you get what Paul means. Paul's diff IIUC is:
< Any vote conducted by the PMC may be closed within 7 days of its
Any vote conducted by the PMC may be closed 7 days after its
ie don't close votes _within_ a week but _after_ a week.
sounds okay to me.
Here is a version including the "after" keyword:
(f) Vote Duration
Any vote conducted by the PMC may be closed after 7 days following
initiation providing that quorum has been met in accordance with
Article 1 (b). A vote not meeting quorum during the initial 7
day period shall default to a 14 day duration. On expiration of
a 14 day vote duration, if quorum has not been achieved, the
vote shall be consider as a failed vote.
I've already added this change to the CVS version.
Cheers, Steve.
cheers,
- Leo
