Hello TSC Members:
We had a discussion on TSC Composition during the Casablanca Developer
Forum on Tuesday. During that discussion Stephen Terrill and Chris Donley
elaborated on the proposal provided by Jason in this email thread. During
the discussion, this approach was received relatively well by those in the
room. I asked Stephen and Chris to write up the proposal so that we could
add it to this thread. The proposal follows:
=====
Definitions:
Service Provider: AT&T, Bell, CMCC, China Telecom, Orange, Reliance Jio,
Turk Telecom, Verizon, Vodafone
Active Contributor: Active contributors are determined based on
contributions to Git, Gerrit, Jira, and Confluence Require 20 contributions
in total over a 12-month period, counting any of patches merged, reviews
made, Wiki page edits, and JIRA activities:
Option 1:
- Base TSC Size: 17
- Base TSC selection is performed through one big ranked vote
conducted via CIVS
- Eligibility to apply/run: Active contributors
- Eligibility to Vote: Active contributors
- Base Company Cap: 1 TSC Member per company
- The following is valid for the year of 2018
- If a service provider (defined above) does not have any staff member
who is eligible to run for the election under the criteria above, that
service provider may appoint a person to the TSC .
- If a service provider has one or more staff members that are
eligible to run for the election, they are encouraged to do so. If no
eligible person wins a TSC spot in the election, then the company may
appoint the highest relatively ranked staff member from the
election to the
TSC.
- If a service provider does have one or more staff members that are
eligible to run but choose not to, then that service provider may not
appoint a person to the TSC.
- If a TSC member is absent (and does not provide a proxy) for 3
consecutive meetings, that person is removed from the TSC. The person may
request to be reinstated by the TSC. In such an event the TSC may approve
the reinstatement by a simple majority vote.
Option 2:
Option 1 with the following modifications
A separate election is proposed for 2 community at large members with the
same criteria and process for the Base TSC election with the exception that
this is not subject to the one person per company rule.
After the election, there is no difference between Base TSC or a member
appointed by other means.
======
Please provide your questions and/or feedback on this proposal. We will
discuss this at the TSC meeting tomorrow.
Best regards,
Phil.
