Perhaps we should ask for a minimum of Yes votes on each candidate
before acceptance. A fixed percentage of the Charter Members maybe?
Good suggestion. Added "..as well as 5% of charter members who voted".
So if there are 180 charter members, and say 100 vote, that would
mean you would need 5 YES votes.
In my opinion this threshold should be applied on the overall number
of charter members, i.e. 5% of 180.
Someone should have an absolute minimum of Yes votes (e.g. 10) in
order to be elected, not a relative one.
Hi Angelos,
Your comments are valid. My reason for setting the number of votes low
is:
1. I think it more important to err on being more inclusive than less.
Agreed.
2. Over the next few years, with the relaxed selection criteria, I'd
expect OSGeo Charter Membership to increase substantially over the
next few years, so 5% this year would require 5 votes, next year
probably 10 or 15, following year, probably 20 to 30.
Then lets forget the percentage and set an absolute number, like how
many members second the nomination (e.g. 5-10)
3. If active membership does drop off, having a % of votes rather than
absolute number would make it easier for charter membership to
revitalize itself later.
