Hi Everyone, To follow-up on today's discussion around TSC requirements, I wanted to share the survey results, examples from other communities, other considerations, and a strawman proposal.
Survey Results The survey results on this topic can be found on slides 3-7 of this presentation: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/TSC+Meritocratic+Election+Process?preview=/25428910/33066973/TSC-Composition-Survey-Community.pdf In summary: - Proxies: Nearly everyone supported proxies with voting privileges - # of consecutive missed TSC meetings before being dropped from quorum requirements: For both elected and appointed representatives, the majority of community responses said 2 consecutive missed meetings; the plurality of TSC responses said 2 consecutive missed meeting, while the majority said 2 or 3 consecutive missed meetings. - appointed TSC members forfeiting seats if removed from quorum: results were mixed, with the community favoring removal, and the TSC not favoring removal Other Communities CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation): "Any TOC member that misses three (3) consecutive meetings shall be automatically suspended from eligibility to vote until having attended two meetings consecutively. For avoidance of doubt, the suspended TOC member shall be eligible to vote in the second consecutive meeting." https://www.cncf.io/about/charter/ Acumos (proposal only): "Any TSC member that misses three (3) consecutive meetings will be automatically suspended from TSC membership for purposes of voting and quorum until having attended two meetings consecutively. For avoidance of doubt, the suspended TSC member will be eligible to vote and will be counted for quorum purposes at the second consecutive meeting." https://wiki.acumos.org/display/TSC/Technical+Steering+Committee Alex, please provide other inputs, as I wasn't able to easily locate the ones you mentioned. Other Considerations As mentioned on the TSC call, the issue seems to be participation in votes. Should the attendance requirements also cover participation in e-mail votes (i.e. missing X votes over Y weeks)? If removal is called for, what are the procedures (if any) for replacement? This would seem to be very dependent on the new TSC composition (elected vs appointed). Strawman Proposal So that everyone has something to throw darts at, here's one proposal: "Any TSC member that misses two (2) consecutive meetings without a named proxy will be automatically suspended from TSC membership for purposes of voting and quorum until having attended two meetings consecutively. For avoidance of doubt, the suspended TSC member will be eligible to vote and will be counted for quorum purposes at the second consecutive attended meeting." motivation: - adheres to survey recommendation on proxies, and 2 consecutive missed meetings before removal from quorum - as the TSC has had no attendance policy up to this point, providing a way for "reinstatement" seems a reasonable first step. The TSC could revisit this in 6 months after seeing if it addresses the issues. For example, the TSC could choose removal after more than X suspensions in a 12 month period. Please provide your input. Thanks!
