make sure I gave you an opinion if you were asking me for one. ;-)

I believe that the TC delegated that to the Election WG [1] but the
governance here is a little gray/fuzzy.

So I kinda think that if the TC doesn't object I can propose the patch
to the election repo and you (as TC chair) can +/-1 is as you see fit.

Is it fair to ask we do that shortly after the next TC office hours?

Yours Tony.

Simultaneously, would be nice to get it done with.

We also can and should post things on the ML for longer discussion as the
'debate' likely wouldn't be much longer than over lunch one day.

I think this is a good plan :) Ready to +2 the config change as soon as I
see it.

[openstack-dev] [all][tc][election] Timing of the Upcoming Stein TC election

2018-08-07 Thread Tony Breeds
Hello all,
With the PTL elections behind us it's time to start looking at the
TC election.  Our charter[1] says:

  The election is held no later than 6 weeks prior to each OpenStack
  Summit (on or before ‘S-6’ week), with elections held open for no less
  than four business days.

Assuming we have the same structure that gives us a timeline of:

  Summit is at: 2018-11-13
  Latest possible completion is at: 2018-10-02
  Moving back to Tuesday: 2018-10-02
  TC Election from 2018-09-25T23:45 to 2018-10-02T23:45
  TC Campaigning from 2018-09-18T23:45 to 2018-09-25T23:45
  TC Nominations from 2018-09-11T23:45 to 2018-09-18T23:45

This puts the bulk of the nomination period during the PTG, which is
sub-optimal as the nominations cause a distraction from the PTG but more
so because the campaigning will coincide with travel home, and some
community members take vacation along with the PTG.

So I'd like to bring up the idea of moving the election forward a
little so that it's actually the campaigning period that overlaps with
the PTG:

  TC Electionfrom 2018-09-18T23:45 to 2018-09-27T23:45
  TC Campaigning from 2018-09-06T23:45 to 2018-09-18T23:45
  TC Nominations from 2018-08-30T23:45 to 2018-09-06T23:45

This gives us longer campaigning and election periods.

There are some advantages to doing this:

 * A panel style Q could be held formally or informally ;P
 * There's improved scope for for incoming, outgoing and staying put TC
   members to interact in a high bandwidth way.
 * In personi/private discussions with TC candidates/members.

However it isn't without downsides:

  * Election fatigue, We've just had the PTL elections and the UC
elections are currently running.  Less break before the TC elections
may not be a good thing.
  * TC candidates that can't travel to the PTG could be disadvantaged
  * The campaigning would all happen at the PTG and not on the mailing
list disadvantaging community members not at the PTG.

So thoughts?

Yours Tony.
