The OpenSolaris constitution
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/governance/) says, in
section 3.1:
"Members are given the right to vote on Community-wide decisions ...
the set of all individuals that have been named by one or more
Community Groups as Core Contributors are the Members who are given
the right to vote on Community-wide decisions."
The OpenSolaris constitution also gives the OGB the duty and power to
set and maintain the procedures governing the OpenSolaris community:
6.1. Powers. The business and affairs of the OpenSolaris Community shall
be managed by or under the direction of the OpenSolaris Governing Board
(OGB), which may exercise all such powers granted by the Charter for the
operation and sustenance of the OpenSolaris Community efforts,
maintenance of the accepted procedures for making decisions within the
OpenSolaris Community, and enforcement of those procedures when deemed
necessary.
OK, so there's an obvious need for clear demarcation of responsibilities
-which things the OGB can do, and which things require the assent of the
entire community. The constitution is silent on this subject, as far as
I can tell.
Do you really prefer the alternative of not allowing any project creations
until a vote of all community members can be organized and run?
We have managed to create new projects just fine up until now...
