[board-discuss] [ANN] PRELIMINARY Results for the 2022 Membership Committee election

2022-09-09 Thread Thorsten Behrens

Dear Members, all,

this is the announcement of the PRELIMINARY results of the election
for the next TDF Membership Committee.

The number of members that cast their vote was 106, 81 members did
not. The board thanks all candidates for running, and all voters for
their participation!

## PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Candidates are sorted in their order of election preference, after all
preferences have been considered according to the Meek STV method with
Droop-Dynamic-Fractional setting, default threshold.

### Elected Members:

* Miklos Vajna, Marina Latini (tied for first)
* Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco
* Gabriele Ponzo
* Uwe Altmann

### Elected Deputies:

* Shinji Enoki
* Balázs Varga
* Ahmad Haris

## CONFIRMATION PERIOD:

The detailed results of running OpenSTV will soon be published at
https://elections.documentfoundation.org/results.php?election_id=15
and a list of all votes cast is already available at
https://elections.documentfoundation.org/votes.php?election_id=15

The above results were calculated using the same tooling and rules as
usual: OpenSTV (https://github.com/Conservatory/openstv -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_single_transferable_votes#Meek).

Unfortunately, given that there were 8 candidates and 9 seats, all
versions of OpenSTV refused to run the ranking out of the box. To
overcome this issue, we ran the algorithm manually
(http://www.mcdougall.org.uk/VM/ISSUE1/P2.HTM), and also for ease of
verification via OpenSTV, added a dummy candidate to the ballot, with
zero votes cast. Both approaches led to the aforementioned result,
that takes voters' preferences beyond first choice into account.

Before these results can be final, we have the challenging phase from
Friday, 2022-09-09, 00:00 CEST/UTC+2, until Thursday, 2022-09-15,
24:00 CEST/UTC+2.

As member who voted, you are invited to verify your votes, via the
anonymous token given to you by the election system at that time. It's
only you who have that token!

The results to verify, for all members who voted, are here:
https://elections.documentfoundation.org/votes.php?election_id=15

In case you think there is any irregularity, or if there are other
questions, please contact the board AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, and in any
case no later than Thursday, 2022-09-15, 24:00 CEST/UTC+2, via
electi...@documentfoundation.org

For further details and the timeline, please check this summary page:
https://elections.documentfoundation.org/2022-mc/rules.html

On behalf of the board,

Thorsten

It is still all developing in the same folder as before, available for
all the TDF members:

  https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/apps/files/?dir=/Developers

It contains all the versions since 2.0, and most of them have change
tracking turned on.

I am happy to share the folder (read-only) to the general public too,
but I'd like to have Paolo's OK before I do - Paolo, is it OK for you?

All the best,
Kendy

* Anything closer to be voted on? (Thorsten)
   * another round of editing document (Kendy)
   * closer to be voted on
   * it's in shared folder
   * another round of edits on his documents
   * Paolo made last edits on Friday, will look into it soon
   * glad to hear, re-added some comments to latest version (Paolo)
   * no massive rush right now, been in the making for a while
(Thorsten)
   AI: add to agenda of next board call

looks like I learned another sort of management strategies:

management by continuous postponement

I am not sure what do you mean; we are working hard with Paolo on the
document to minimize areas that are mutually unacceptable, and I am
pleased to see that the amount of problematic points is decreasing with
every version.

I'm always interested in learning new and promising managing methods.
And this here seemed a one that I have not learned about.


If you compare the document in the current state with my or Paolo's
first version, you will see the huge amount of work we have both put
into this.


I believe this is true, but the links above in the meeting minutes are
not public (also not public for logged in users). Thus no user of this
list could proof your statement.

Thus it would be great, if you could make the current state of the
documents (maybe with the changes done) available for the interested
community.

This would help to follow the process and understand the pro and cons of
this management method.

Regards,
Andreas
