Hi all, As you may or may not know Jenkins project is run by a Governance Board with support from a set of Officers.
While a process has been set out for elections we are overdue an election. With Jenkins moving from SPI to CDF <https://jenkins.io/blog/2019/03/12/cdf-launch/> the timing is good to do this. CD.Foundation is a multi-project foundation with corporate sponsors and various oversight bodies. The nature of the foundation means we need to ensure good channels for communications and a robust operating model. With that in mind I am proposing the following set of dates for running a new elections. The election process will be bootstrapped by the existing board and we will request CDF run and supervise the election using the The Condorcet Internet voting system <https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/>. Please review the proposal below and links outlining the process for new board and officer elections. 2019 Election Schedule (Proposed): 13 September, 2019: Nominations open. To nominate someone, send an email to [email protected] 4 October, 2019: Nominations close 8 October, 2019: List of nominees posted to (mailing list) 11 October, 2019: Nominees’ personal statements made available 14 October, 2019: Voting begins 27 October, 2019: Voting closes 5pm Pacific Time 4 November, 2019: New representatives announced For voting eligibility I propose we generally stick with the process outlined in the Board Election Process <https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Board+Election+Process> with the following specific modifications: - cut-off date for voter eligibility being September 1st 2019. - I would also like to propose that any Jenkins contributor who does not meet the eligibility criteria but is a community contributor can also register to vote by writing to the existing board of directors. (as I have been made aware of a subset of contributors who potentially fall in this category) Please review the above and share your thoughts. Ideally we discuss now with the goal of reaching consensus by the next governance meeting on August 11th when we can finalize/ratify the proposal. If you are happy with the proposal I hope you will consider putting yourself forward for one of the positions.
