A hopefully final form of words, in which I've added what the community ought to do to avoid the termination option. I've also turned the last paragraph round so it doesn't read like an ultimatum, which has been bothering me for a while: The [insert name here] community has less than the required minimum of 3 Core Contributors to govern its affairs and, according to the OpenSolaris constitution, should be terminated. The OpenSolaris Governing Board can deal with the situation by: A) Terminating the community B) Designating at least 3 new Core Contributors in order to revitalize the community, or C) Merge this community with another (possibly as a project). If community members step up and make a good case for options B or C within the next 30 days (either by guiding the OGB as to who the new Core Contributors should be, or by advising the OGB what nature of merger would be in the best interests of the affected community) then the OGB will work with the community to take that option forward. Otherwise, the OGB will ask the website community to terminate the community group, following the procedure set forth here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/infrastructure-setup/ -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
