I echo Dave's recommendation to be inclusive. The main reason not to be exclusive AIUI is to prevent gaming of the voting process. There are two ways to address that, while remaining inclusive:
1) set a reasonably low bar for participation IMO anyone that is a regular attendee in OPNFV TSC or technical community calls, has made any level of peer-reviewed commit (outside their own company) over the last year, etc should be included. There are a core of people that should be obvious to us all, as involved, and they should certainly not be excluded. These include all current TSC members, PTLs, active committers, anyone active in any form of discussion, anyone contributing content in any form (code, tests, docs, wiki, ...), ... 2) provide a means for process concerns to be raised and addressed by the TSC Dave's concern is an example. We need to be open to any such concern as a sign the process needs to be improved or an exception needs to be made (which really means the process needs to be improved, but for some reason we are not able to at this time...). Other types of concern may be raised by analytics on the voting process, which should be shared with the community (every voter should be associated with a member company, or identified as independent, so we can ensure reasonable equity in the voting process). There should be a place on the wiki etc for raising these concerns so they can be tracked and the thread of addressing them is recorded.

A few comments: Your wiki stats look off - I would expect to see many more people in the list (of course the first thing I did out of vanity was look for myself, and I have definitely made a number of wiki edits and comments, but I am not in the list). We have so far discussed erring on the side of inclusion, so I am curious about your setting a bar at 50 or 100 contributions. It might make sense to have a minimum number for some of the lower impact activities like Gerrit reviews, but for others like patch submission, a lower bound of 1 might make more sense. For wiki edits 5 or 10 seems reasonable. If using a composite metric, I would lean towards a lower number (say, 20) rather than higher, to be more inclusive. Have you considered being active on the mailing list as a potential market of activity? Again the question of whether people who are active on the list, but inactive elsewhere, can be considered active contributors (I think they could) - there, perhaps 30 emails during the year is a good level. I would also be interested to hear if there are people who previously had a vote as committers, who would not have a vote under this scheme, or whether there is a big difference in the size of the community/electorate with your proposed levels. What do you think? Thanks, Dave.
