Role of the CC

----------------------

The brief summary of the new FIG structure is summised in bit.ly/fig-3-0 <http://bit.ly/fig-3-0>. The quote pertaining to ‘What is the CC’ is:


    They hold the entrance votes and final acceptance vote. These
    votes are to see if the FIG wants to consider this problem for a
    PSR, and to have oversight of Working Groups and make sure working
    groups have all relevant stakeholders have their interests
    represented within them. Their final acceptance vote is on the
    quality of the spec, ensuring consistency throughout the FIG,
    ensuring it meets the FIG’s overall direction and aims, making
    sure stakeholders interests were represented, and the competence
    of the working group.


Essentially they are a technical steering committee for the PHP FIG and it is designed to represent (and be representative of) the entire PHP ecosystem from different types of PHP project (Framework, Library, Consumer Package) to non-PHP things that relate to the ecosystem like PHP Runtimes, IDEs, PHP in business to different generalised areas of specialty such as security or async.

If you wish to be on the list of community members please see here <https://gist.github.com/michaelcullum/9f5fd32efce27fb5517dd43bf814f16f#file-xnotetocandidates-md>about how to be added. Votes of anyone not on the list will be discarded.


How to vote?

-------------------


The voting system used is STV[1][2], so basically, there is no tactical voting possible; vote for who you want, even if they are a less popular candidates as your vote will move down to a different candidate if you back an unpopular candidate who doesn't have enough votes; if a candidate is elected, their surplus votes are also re-allocated so you are not punished for backing popular candidates either. There is no quorum, you are of course entitled to not vote and it will not count as a missed vote on the voting sheet.


You may, if you wish, not rank all twenty candidates but only rank those with whom you have a preference (top 5, 12, 15 etc.).


Reply to this topic ranking the candidates in order of preferencefor example:


1. Luke

2. Leia

3. Anakin

4. Rey

5. Padmé

6. Finn


The vote ends at 23:59 UTC on the 23rd December, and the result will then (hopefully/likely) be announced on the 24th December.


Note to candidates:

--------------------------

People have asked about this so to clarify, you are highly encouraged to vote for yourselves. For full rationale please see here <https://gist.github.com/michaelcullum/9f5fd32efce27fb5517dd43bf814f16f#note-to-candidates>.


Many thanks,

Michael Cullum
