Hi, James
My apologies. I am new to this and have made a lot of mistakes. However,
I don't believe it is fair to accuse me of 'hiding' anything.
As you know following my first meeting in February, I posted a
conglomeration of the ideas thrown out as to the position
(http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Proposal).
At the March meeting, the I18n position was tabled for the April meeting.
At the April meeting, the item was again tabled with a specific request
to write up the job description and a list of those on my informal
mailing list. I did that the following morning by writing and posting
the page (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Manager) which has
evolved to the Translation-Community_Manager).
I sent a notification to the SLOBs list and to my informal list. This
was a serious error. This email should have been sent to iaep and
localization, at least. At the time I was responding to a task assigned
at the meeting and so used the SLOBs list. I wasn't aware that this list
is secret.
On Monday and Tuesday, I was involved in a personal commitment which
gave Walter and Adam an opportunity to edit the document. I also fixed
some typos.
At Walter's request, I made the formal motions. Those I believe should
go to the SLOBs list. However, Adam and Caryl requested that the motions
be posted on the iaep and localization lists which I did.
Certainly none of these snafus reflect in any way on Chris Leonard or
his leadership.

I'm not sure the translation team wants to be led in that way, and I'd
not like to lose volunteers. We have so few.
The hiding of SLOBs deliberations once they move to their private
mailing list caused this situation; Wiki technology is a bad match for
decision making bodies unless clear processes are used. There was
nothing in the history of the page to indicate it was part of a
motion.
I'd like to see some more transparency.

My point is that the motion was based on the wording of the document
at the time it was made. Amendments after the motion is made are
really out of order.
Luckily, the Wiki technology lets readers see the document as it was
at the time of the motion.
Naturally, the intent is that the TCM will lead the translation
team. My view is prejudiced, but I thought the wording made that
very clear.

I take it to mean that you intend that the translation team be
eclipsed by the translation community manager? That's unfortunate.

The formal motion was sent at 5pm April 5, 2016. It was seconded at 7:25pm
April 5, 2016 (both times EST). Any changes to the TCM job description made
after the formal motion was submitted and seconded should not be considered in
votes on the motion. Naturally, if the Board thinks changes are needed before
the motions can be approved, new motions can be made.

Hello,
I made a small contribution to the Translation Community Manager page, as
follows:
In the first paragraph, I added the following, just to clarify what the
page was about:
This is a paid delegation currently being debated by SLOBs.
More importantly, I added a second paragraph to link to previous
structures:
This delegation is not meant to eclipse [1]Translation Team, its [2]
coordinators, or any other party interested in helping out with
localization.
I hope it is taken well. It does not modify the motions in place at all.
Regards,
Sebastian

I submitted motions to the Board as follows:
I move that the SugarLabs Oversight Board approve the position of
Translation-Community Manager as described at [3][4]http://
wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation-Community_Manager.
I further move that Chris Leonard be named to this position effective
immediately.
At Adam's request, I am adding a third motion:
I move that the Translation-Community Manager be paid a stipend of
$1000 per month.
I would like to call for seconds to these motions.
Tony
