I agree that a timely action plan for such votes is needed. For the next voting process we should have defined time-spans for nominations, general input and coming to a final decision. > I'd also like to see such decisions taken transparently in a public forum. What I personally want to avoid is to have public discussions about the merits of volunteers as they rarely do good. Giving input and sharing concerns is all fine and important (also a demonstration of how much you care about MOTU), but discussing the qualities (or lack thereof) of people who volunteer to do good work is likely to put people off. > I'm not a fan of secret decision making in FOSS projects. This makes it look much worse than it actually is.
