From: Chaker Al-Hakim <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 8, 2019 9:00 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Onap-arc] Architecture Chair Election - Requesting a TSC review of the LFN Decision Hi Kenny, This is to let you that I am contesting your decision to extend rule 3c to apply to the subcommittee election, which you used to basically invalidate the ArchCom subcommittee election. [“Decisions made by electronic vote without a meeting require a majority vote of all voting members of the TSC.” By extension this provision also then applies to the members of any TSC subcommittee.] Your decision is going to set a precedent moving forward and I believe the TSC should officially make that decision, and the bylaws should be updated accordingly, to specifically state the guidelines without running any risk of any miss-interpretation in the future. I am also requesting that your “new call for nomination” be suspended until the TCS has had the opportunity to review the election outcome and render a decision Your rationale for dismissing the election results was based on the following statement: [There are 15 designated voting members of the Architecture Subcommittee. Between uncast ballots and abstentions there were not enough votes cast in favor of the candidate to confirm the election.] Based on the above statement I have a few observations: 1. You said in your statement “there were not enough votes cast in favor of the candidate to confirm the election” a. How did you define “enough” and where is that defined in the bylaws? b. What would have been an acceptable voting result in this case? c. Have you looked at previous elections to see if we had a similar situation? How were they handled? d. Did you interpret “abstain” as “neutral/Don’t Care” or as a vote “against” the candidate 2. your statement also failed to mention that this was a non-contested election, which could have impacted the election participation (Should non-contested election be governed under different rules??) 3. Election results: a. 15 people were eligible to vote, only 8 decided to cast their votes - b. 5 votes were cast for me c. 3 abstained I am also requesting that we put this topic on the agenda for the next TCS call, Dec 12, 2019, so the TSC can review and decide on the outcome.
