This message serves as a call for nominations for candidates to serve as chairs of the afs3-standardization group. Please read on for details on how the process will work and how to register your nomination(s).
Since this group has yet to formally adopt a permanent charter, I am assuming that we are still operating under the process described in draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-00.txt. The elections process is described in section 2.2.2 of that document. The current chairs are Michael Meffie and myself; Mike's term ends this year, and mine a year from now. The normal process calls for the existing chairs, including the outgoing chair, to act as vote-takers. However, candidates cannot act as vote-takers, and I believe Mike has agreed to run for re-election. Under our current process, this would leave me as the only vote-taker. *** CONSENSUS CALL *** In order to avoid single points of failure in the process, I would like to ask the group to authorize me to appoint Chaskiel Grundman as a backup vote-taker. In that role, he would receive copies of all votes, but would report results only if no other vote-taker is available, or at his discretion, if he believes there is a discrepancy. This message serves as a consensus call on this question, to expire on August 25, at the same time nominations close. Regardless of the outcome of this question, if Mike is not nominated or chooses not to run, he will serve as a vote-taker. ********************** Consistent with the constraints described in section 2.2.2, this election will proceed along the following timeline: Jul 1 Eligibility Cutoff (see below) Aug 6 Call for nominations Aug 25 Nominations close - 23:59 UTC Sep 1 Call for votes Sep 15 Voting closes - 23:59 UTC Sep 22 Results announced Oct 1 New chair takes office Eligibility to vote is determined by those who are subscribed to, or have posted to, the standardisation group during the time period from the 1st of June to the 1st July of the appropriate year.
