I am CCing the -userrel ML because I expect possible input from userrel
as well. Sorry for doubled mails.

Fine by me. We should invite userrel as well. Do you have a time in
mind? (Saturday at 15:00 UTC would work for me!)
The IRC Topic advertises 16:00 UTC.
I think I can come.
BTW, it would be good if people who can't make it sate this here so we
can postpone or cancel the meeting if only a couple show up.
I propose we start to make an Agenda here beforehands, not
on-the-fly on IRC.
I think some of the topics are already clear (pending stuff from the
last meetings), I would just like to add one more:
Self-mangement of the Userreps: Consider things like:
0) Do we have a leader?
Do we want a First among equals, someone who has a deciding
voice on issues where we all can't come to an agreement?
Or do we trust our cooperation skills for this to be not needed?
If yes, which powers should he have?
1) How do we handle URs which go MIA or are slackers?
They will obviously have to be retired at some point, which should be
the parameters for that?
How about this:
After three weeks of no activity with regards to the UR project, a ping
email is sent. If there is no reply for the next week, the person is
marked inactive (most likely on the project page) and will be taken off
the UR project after another week.
Userrel is informed of the fact, the UR is considered retired and the
position is vacant from that point on.
It would therefore need six weeks of slacking for a UR to be removed
from the roster.
2) When and how are new userreps assigned?
Do we keep a fixed number of 11 and new ones will only be added when a
position is vacant? Or do we have regular ballots where people are voted
off and new ones in (like a parliament or the council)?
(Obviously, if work gets too much, the 11 will have to be increased.)
3) Suspension (vacation) of URs
Da we allow one of us to take longer vacations (say, more than a month)
and return after that period? Or would someone have to resign and get
re-elected?
So long,
Peter
