To reiterate the schedule I mentioned in my previous email. Here's my suggestion:
Today (Wednesday): start nominations for anyone interested in being VP/PMC chair Today: someone (probably someone willing to be the chair) should propose a resolution -- really just the single phrase that defines the project scope inserted into the standard template (see below) Friday morning (PDT): start vote on resolution Sunday evening (PDT): start vote for VP (giving the rest of this week and weekend for anyone to consider nominations) Tuesday morning (PDT): close vote on resolution and send to Board for review before meeting, leaving VP name blank for the moment. Wednesday evening (PDT): close vote and insert Beehive's proposed VP name into the resolution before board votes on it the next day. Sound good?
