Peoples,
As requested, have checked in a first cut (stake in the ground) update to the charter to try to encompass the PMC structure and election process. I have been a bit vague in a few areas (e.g. how to vote in Chair) as I am not sure of the details. Have also tried to incorporate in David Marston's comments from this morning.
On another note - a very quick question (from a person with no legal background whatsoever, but who read the bylaws in an effort to ensure the charter was correct) ...
Section 6.3 of the bylaws discusses the PMC and the members of the PMC. To quote :
"....Project Management Committees consisting of at least one officer of the corporation, who shall be designated chairman of such committee, and may include one or more other _members of the corporation_...."
(My emphasis)
As I understand it we get past the PMC Chair being an officer by recommending that person to the Board, who appoints her/him as said officer.
But my reading of the above is that all members of the PMC must be members of the corporation. I know I'm not, so are we correct in what we are doing, or is there something else of which I am not aware?
My reading is that PMC's *may* include one more other members, but are not required to.
And, going one step further, doesn't it make sense to ensure (at the very least) that a Chairperson is a formal member of the foundation?
I was chair for a year before becoming a member.
Speaking of which, does any body have any nominations for a new chair?
Ted
