I would feel uncomfortable defining participation. Lurkers play an important role in the community even if they are not frequently published documents or even commenting on them. Voting for the leadership in itself is an important aspect of community* Section 2.2.2: With regard to eligibility, I think rather than "subscribed as of X", it might be better to do something involving both actual participation and a period of time. For example, a requirement that someone have made a substantive post sometime in the previous 18 months, where "substantive" means something which is part of an on-topic technical discussion (including just expressing support for a proposal, but not organizational issues), and is determined by the vote-taker subject to appeal.The vote-taker should, around the same time nominations start, post a list of the eligible voters.
participation.I'm not sure how I feel about posting the names of eligible voters. I would be supportive of sending an e-mail to all eligible voters indicating that they are eligible and reminding
them that they should vote.
We want them hosted by an organization that will survive a single individual being hit* Section 2.5 I don't see any reason why these need to be hosted by the foundation rather than by grand.central.org, which is the existing home of the registrar function and of not only afs3-standardization but all of the openafs.org mailing lists. I expect that eventually the OpenAFS lists may migrate to a new home, but there hasn't been much motion in that direction yet. However, even if that happens, I don't see any reason to move the afs3-standardization list, which is _not_ specific to OpenAFS. Similarly, I'm perfectly happy to continue to provide a repository for the registries at grand.central.org, which is the current home of the registrar function.
