Re: [GRASS-PSC] GRASS-SVN access

Scott,

now received.
I have added now your smitch + mac.com address to the whitelist
of Mailman grass-psc. You are not subscribed with that address and
all emails from unsubscribed addresses are automatically discarded
as spam, that's why. From now on they will go through.

 +1 from me.

 I'll send it to you personally as well as to the list this time.

Re: [GRASS-PSC] PSC management

[Hamish]

 Quoth Markus N.: 
 The PSC members are requested to annually confirm (via email to the
 PSC mailing list) the continuation of their active involvement in the PSC.
 This confirmation is expected by 1 June of each year. In case of lack
 of this confirmation the member will be replaced.

Dylan:
 That sounds just about right. Here is a slightly altered
 version:
 
 Members are requested to annually confirm (via email to the
 PSC mailing list) the continuation of their active
 involvement in the PSC. This confirmation is expected annually,
 by June 1st. In the absence of such confirmation, nominations
 will open for a replacement by XXX (June 15th?).


I would simplify as much as possible, add the reasoning, and leave off
the the fine-detail procedural stuff:

In order to keep the PSC fresh, members will annually confirm their
continued involvement. This should happen by June 1st of each year,
afterwhich nominations for their replacement may commence at the
discretion of the chair. They are not replaced, and retain voting rights,
until such point as their replacement member is formally accepted.


Overly-automatic timeouts are poor management IMO, it puts the burden onto
the ruleset instead of the humans. Maybe that avoids some personal
confrontation, but is a bit of a cop-out of our responsibilities IMO.



best,
Hamish

Markus:
   If there are no objections in the next days, I'll set up his
   account to the main GRASS SVN repository.

Hamish:
  fwiw, even if non-controversial, granting access requires us to
  record a formal vote,

Markus:
 Sure.
 See my other mail for non-active members, so I believe that
 a quorum is sufficient.

Yes, as we've been doing it for a long time now, a quorum is fine.
My small point of order was that it sounded a bit like if we don't hear
from you we'll consider it a tacit 'yes' vote, and that is not much of
a vote at all.


anyway, moving on..
