[python-committers] Vote on governance will happen between Nov 16 - Nov 30

2018-10-22 Thread Łukasz Langa 
The voting procedure is described in PEP 8001. I flipped it from "Draft" to 
"Active" without further changes a few minutes ago. That's in the interest of 
giving everybody enough lead time as well as resolving the situation "well 
before PyCon 2019" as per Guido's and Carol's requests.

Please read all the governance PEPs, ask for clarifications, voice all your 
concerns now. Ideally we will make all of the required changes to the PEPs 
early and not last minute before the vote.

There were some suggestions on Discourse for changes to the selected model, the 
biggest being Stefan's suggestion to encrypt the votes and Donald's suggestion 
to use STAR instead of IRV for counting votes. We ended up not going with those 
suggestions. See Brett's comment here as to why:
