Sorry Rob Oxspring and Jason van Zyl.
Also, how is the chair position being selected now? By peer PMC members or by the entire body of Jakarta committers?
Technically, the chair position is chosen by the board. In practice, the board gives great value to the desires of the project. Historically, votes on the chair has been done by votes of the PMC members.
I ask because I have an essay to present and I would like to run for the chair position as I feel it's time for some changes around here.
Excellent.
The next board meeting is the 19th. My suggestion is that current PMC members nominate individuals that they believe should be on the PMC by the 9th, then we hold a vote on these nominees to be complete on the 12th.
This is to be followed this up with nominations for chair from people in the (potentially expanded) PMC ranks by the 16th. An election where every member of the PMC has one vote, will then commence, to be completed on the 18th.
If there are concerns about not wishing one's votes to be known, I can ask the board for an independent set of participants to tally the votes.
In any case, I can inform the board of the results (potentially jointly with my intended successor) on the 19th.
How does this sound?
