I'm not sure this is written down anywhere, so I believe this to be unspecified. Advocacy is somewhat unique in having its own actual procedures for this, so if you don't know, then nobody will. However, most of the CC renewals I saw in the run-up to the most recent election did take the form of a proper vote, if that helps in establishing precedent. I don't think that simply requesting renewal and having it go through without any oversight isn't a good thing. I've created a suggestion for OGB 2008/009, which says basically: Procedures for renewal of Contributor and Core Contributor grants should be the same as for the initial grant. In particular, a vote under the same terms as the initial grant should still take place. I don't want to overburden the machinery, but I think due process needs to be followed. It ought to be easy, as the renewal victim has already qualified once, so getting the votes shouldn't be an issue. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
