During the 21st January 2010 MOTU Council "call" (1), there was discussion of the pending expiry of the memberships of four of the seven current MOTU Council members (two to expire 27th January, and two 31st January). In light of the ongoing discussions regarding the future of MOTU (2, 3), it was decided that without clear definition of "MOTU" and "MOTU Council", and the distinct possibility that both would no longer exist in the near future, it was decided that beginning a selection process to replace the four expiring members may be confusing, both for those volunteering to hold the position, and those selecting from the available choices. As a result, MOTU Council will be unable to reach quorum, and must cease activities.
The last MOTU Council meeting to be held with current members will be on 28th January, at 17 UTC, during which business will be conducted as usual. The scheduled MOTU Council meeting for 12th February will not be held. Meetings may resume if it is determined that there shall be a MOTU Council, and new members are drafted so that quorum can be met. As a special exception, considering the late notice of cancellation of the 12th February meeting, candidates will be accepted for application through the end of this week (22nd January), rather than requiring the usual full week review period. Those interested in the future of MOTU and the MOTU Council are encouraged to attend the coming Developer Membership Meetings, the next being scheduled for 2nd February at 15 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. 1: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2010-January/002366.html 2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveReorganisation/Permissions 3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/LucidMOTU -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
