In principle, I’d agree with the approach that “anyone who cares about a particular subcommittee and has an LF account” should be eligible to vote. If you don’t care, then you’re unlikely to vote anyway. If we notice that the election would be seriously gamed, because you suddenly see a lot of folks voting that were never seen in a subcommittee before – then the TSC could decide to rerun an election with additional constraints put in place.
That said, this does not solve the problem that Kenny raised, because the current governance is far more restrictive. For that, I’d agree with Alla that before the election, we’d need to make sure that the list of assigned voting members is “cleaned up”. Kenny, how about you just compile a list per committee – which would go through community review, i.e. the respective sub-committee reviews the list and tries to resolve any issues. If there are conflicts the community really can’t resolve through consensus, then the TSC would need to help resolve the issue. Thoughts?

I do hope that all active participants can identify themselves as members. - We have people listening in to the calls that may be normally quite. I do not, however know, what they are doing behind the scenes to connect the dots – and I wouldn’t want to project any view that they are not welcome join, or participate, or listen whether or not they identify themselves as a member or not. - We can have people that are formally identified as members, that don’t do the above. We could go down the path of “active membership”, however and have criteria like meeting attendance, wiki updates etc; but do we clearly gain when anyway at the end of the day the sub-committeess are advisory and work on rough consensus.

Section 4.4.1.4 Subcommittee Voter Eligibility<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Technical+Community+Document#ONAPTechnicalCommunityDocument-4.4.1.4SubcommitteeVoterEligibility> the criteria only defines: Voting for a Chair or Vice-Chair is not limited to ONAP member companies. However only 1 Subcommittee member from each company, or group of related companies may vote in the election. Therefore, at least my reading is that the problem you describe below may exist only if at least one of assigned voting members (max 1 per company or group of related companies) is not fully identified as a subcommittee member, as only they should be getting a ballot. Is it the case?

I spent all day Saturday working this and I was going to make the call myself but after sleeping on it I decided that this really requires a decision from the TSC, not from the PM. I am going to hold off on balloting until I have received clear guidance. The primary membership criteria for most Subcommittees were established with an overly broad, “If you want to be a member, just add your name to the wiki” model. The result of this is basically unmanageable and has introduced a grey area that calls into question both the definition and validity of membership. In the crush to get ONAP off the ground this resulted in a flood of people adding themselves and then failing to participate. The membership lists have never been curated as far as I am aware, so there are a lot of "members" that have never been active. I have not yet looked into Security, Open Lab or University yet and Control-Loop isn't due for another couple months. However, for the "big three" here is the situation… Architecture Subcommittee: 108 members listed, 70 are actually subscribed to the Onap-arc mailing list Use case Subcommittee: 98 members listed, 49 are actually subscribed to the Onap-usecasesub mailing list Modeling Subcommittee: 84 members listed. It does not have its own mailing list and instead uses onap-discuss. Out of the 35 company representatives (as per section 4.4.1.4 of the Community Document), 9 of them are not subscribed to the mailing list. A few of these deltas can be attributed to the fact people did not provide the same email address on the wiki page that they used to subscribe to the list. It is the member's responsibility to reconcile that, but it represents only a small percentage of the cases. This raises the issue as to whether someone can legitimately be considered of a subcommittee "member" if they are not even subscribed to the subcommittee's mailing list? My perspective is that they should not be. They may be an interested party, but since they are not able to participate in list-based discussion and they are not in a position to make decisions relative to the subcommittee. As defined in 4.4.1.3 Subcommittee Chair / Vice Chair Elections<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Technical+Community+Document#ONAPTechnicalCommunityDocument-4.4.1.3SubcommitteeChair/ViceChairElections> : The Chair or Vice-Chair will be elected by members of the subcommittee as of the date the nomination process starts for the election. Section 4.4.1.4 Subcommittee Voter Eligibility<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Technical+Community+Document#ONAPTechnicalCommunityDocument-4.4.1.4SubcommitteeVoterEligibility> the criteria only defines: Voting for a Chair or Vice-Chair is not limited to ONAP member companies. However only 1 Subcommittee member from each company, or group of related companies may vote in the election. Based on the Community Document ballots should be sent to anyone listed on the wiki regardless of their actual involvement. Doing that makes me uncomfortable as it runs counter to promoting a vibrant community. Instead implies that we are basically apathetic in that regard. So, my questions to the TSC Members are: Should subcommittee election ballots only be distributed to individuals that are subscribed to the subcommittee's mailing list? Should subcommittee members that are not subscribed to the subcommittee's mailing list be dropped from the roster? (Assuming yes to the above) What is a reasonable period of time to allow subcommittee members to correct their information before proceeding? I will add this topic to the TSC meeting agenda, however discussions should take place here in advance. Thanks!
