Phil,

Thanks for pulling this summary together.  I think you've captured some of
the key decision points from the survey.

For Option 1, I might propose a slightly different way of handling the
voting to still strive toward the desired operator representation while
advocating meritocracy:

- Pick a TSC size (say 15)
- Take the top 15 ranking individuals (one per company) from the voting
- Those operators not represented in the top 15 are allowed to appoint a
TSC representative for this cycle only.  This would be a one-time increase
in the size of the TSC above the desired size.

The primary reason is to conduct a fully meritocratic vote for the top 15,
giving the community a sense of elected leadership.  The implication could
be a larger than desired TSC for this cycle (maybe 20+) and maybe not a
full 50% operator representation.  The vote would also give a feeling for
how many operators might be represented in a fully meritocractic TSC --
that way the TSC knows for the next cycle if any adjustments to TSC
composition will be required to ensure adequate operator representation.

Thoughts?

            your input

Hello ONAP TSC Members:

Based on the survey [0] that was conducted across both the TSC members and
the ONAP developer community at-large, the following general attributes for
this election have been identified:
TSC Composition


​general ​recommendations from the Survey
      Allowed to run:  Active Contributors
      Allowed to vote:  Active Contributors
      Size of TSC: 15 to 19
      Composition: Ideally, 50% (9) or more Operators
      Company Cap:


      ​*​1 per company
      In this election,


      ​have ​reserved spots for Operators (AT&T, Bell, CMCC, China Telecom,
      Orange, Reliance Jio, Turk Telecom, Verizon, Vodafone) - (A narrow
      majority in survey - Slide 14)
            Reserved spots for all ONAP Platinum members including Vendors
            was a split vote (Slide 15)



Given the above criteria, for this election, the following are 3 options
that could be considered:



​Option 1
      TSC Cap 17, 18, or 19 (to target 50% operators)
      At least one person from each of the 9 Operators must run
      Bios, pics, and “


      statement​s of intent” up on the website for at least 1 week.
      One big ranked vote conducted via CIVS
      Top


      ​ranked ​operators ​are identified​ (9 spots​ - one per operator company)​
      Remaining positions taken by top ranking


      ​individuals - one per company​ ​



​Option 2​
      Each existing Platinum Member of ONAP circa Jan. 2018  invited to
      appoint a TSC rep. (19 Members


      ​)


      ​ * Causes issue for LFN Platinum Members that were not originally
      part of ONAP​ as of January 1st



​Option 3​
      Each existing Platinum Member of LFN invited to appoint a TSC rep.
      (27 Members) (adds ARM, Lenovo, NEC/Netcracker, Qualcomm, Samsung,
      Suse, Red Hat, Juniper)
            Fails the ~50% Operator goal


            ​, as well as desired size of TSC​


​
Please​ consider these options and provide your thoughts, questions, and/or
alternatives to consider.

​We need to close on this topic with a vote by the end of June, so time is
of the essence at this point.
​----​

* From previous experience, capping TSC membership to one person per
company can cause the side-effect of company employees who would otherwise
be very qualified for the position choose *not* to run against another,
often more senior, person within their company.  This can produce a
sub-optimal result in TSC make-up.
