I fixed the discussion page to reflect my opinion only. Now it reads:

"I strongly suggest candidates to optimize space given and avoid irrelevant
information such as quoting other people's thoughts different from those
thoughts of the candidate him/her self. Instead I suggest candidates to
focus on a simple message to share your motivation, vision and/or
management skills that make you an ideal candidate for the Sugar Labs
Oversight Board."

(a) the motion 2017-14 which was agreed did not relate to the current
electoral process, but to the membership of a committee who is
responsible for implementing the process,

(b) there is no conflict of interest visible; your primary interest is
as a member of the oversight board and a member of the committee, none
of your declared secondary interests include personal benefit,
financial gain, desire for professional advancement, or the wish to do
favours for family or friends.

(c) if there is a conflict of interest that is not yet visible, please
make it visible.

Therefore you had the right to vote on the motion.

> At this point, this a polemical motion.

I've had to look up the word polemical.

The motion that passed was proposed by an oversight board member who
is also a member of the committee; Samson.  If you are saying the
motion was an argument, a controversy, or a verbal or written attack
on you, then I'm surprised.  You might take this up with Samson
privately though.

Your opinion on this is welcome, of course, but following the agreed
motion 2017-14, the committee now consists of Samson, Ignacio, Hrishi,
Pericherla, Ibiam and yourself.

It isn't clear that there is a need for further committee members,
given that the original reason was to enhance transparency.

As the oversight board did not formally decide to make an OPEN CALL,
your message making that call was a personal decision.  Your aim seems
to be "helping out with the tasks related".  It will be interesting to
see who responds.  The committee may still involve as visitors those
yet to be respond.

Re: [IAEP] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[Walter Bender]

As I said earlier, I don't think SLOB should be involved in the details of
who is a member of this committee or that committee. We should be trusting
the community. That said, I agree with James -- we need more transparency
from the committee. For example, when the "Sugar Labs Membership and
Elections Committee strongly suggests" something in the wiki, it would be
nice to have a public link to the meeting notes available so that it is
clear that it really is the committee that is strongly suggesting and not
just an individual's opinion.

Not even I should vote on any motion related to the current electoral
process until current election calendar terminates on October 15, 2017 as
it could be defined as a "Conflict of Interest".

At this point, this a polemical motion.

I think we need to make allow enough time to set as deadline for the OPEN
CALL for volunteers for the Membership and Elections Committee so that ALL
members of SUGAR LABS (r) are invited to join the Committee in equal
conditions.


I want to underline is super important anyone who wants to join the
Committee should state it on his/her own during an OPEN CALL.

I disagree.  As the motion is only adding members to a committee,
there's no interference in process of the committee.

By your logic above, the only people who could vote for the motion are
those whose slot is not expiring; Samson, Ignacio, and Laura.  And
these three are the committee.  ;-)

Re: [IAEP] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[James Cameron]

Thanks.

I don't think adding more Sugar Labs members to the membership and
elections committee will increase transparency.

Practices that will increase transparency are;

- make open the discussions, meetings, minutes, and decisions of the
  committee,

- make open the collective actions of the committee; Laura is doing
  that job very well,

- make open the individual actions of the committee,

- declaring any conflicts of interest, or confirming there are no
  conflicts of interest, as a consequence of being on committee,

- deciding the types of information that will not be made open; such
  as votes, and Sugar Labs member e-mail addresses.

There's a risk adding more Sugar Labs members to the membership and
elections committee might decrease transparency; by reducing time
spent on transparency practices.

Don't forget, the membership and elections committee also has two
independent third parties they can turn to; Dave Crossland (impartial
election oversight party), and Bert Freudenberg as Ombudsman.

I agree.

Therefore we will complete an *open call for volunteers* and will translate
and communicate giving enough time to all our members on our supported
lists.

In my opinion *the motion haven't pass yet *as have only 3 valid votes in
favor: Walter as 1 of the 4 candidates
for the
2017-2019 elections should abstain to avoid any direct interference with
the current election process he is participating in.

I don't understand. All vote are counted valid until after election, he is
still SLOB.

Everyone has the right to vote on motion until they lose seat. If i want
use your words against you. Meaning we only have 3 valid voters (Me, you
and Ignacio) and we can't pass any motion with 3 out of 7 seat.

So no need for this statement.


Again, *I would support a motion for new members as long as they are Sugar
Labs members in "good standing" and have made a volunteer request to be
part of the Committee on a OPEN, inclusive and transparent way. *.

Good but this three already showed interest and we should use what we have
before we wait for others.

Thank you James,

The reason we want more members is due to the current members are all SLOBS
and since we will be having elections it is wise to have some non-SLOBS
member in, for sake of transparency.

Re: [IAEP] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[James Cameron]

Good that the motion passed, but I'll comment anyway.  ;-)

Pericherla Seetaramaraju and Hirish Patel are not Sugar Labs members
yet.  On the other hand, nor am I.

My opinion is that it is up to the membership and elections committee
who they invite to their meetings and who they collaborate with.  Call
them visitors.  Visitors need not be Sugar Labs members.  Visitors
could be asked their opinion but their vote on motions could be
avoided.

I don't see why the committee needs more committee members, apart from
Walter's concern that the committee at the moment consists only of
the continuing oversight board members.

This perhaps is more a function of the level of interest overall; and
losing Ignacio is an unfortunate sign of that.

Re: [IAEP] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[Samson Goddy]

The motion already passed.

Both of them are going to sign up for Sugar Labs membership, which they can
easily do.

I guess this motion passed.

Pericherla and Hrishi, the next step to take is to formally sign up as a
Sugar Labs member[1].

Congrats

Samson,

I would support a motion to add Ibiam to the Membership and elections
Committee since Ibiam is a Sugar Labs member.

Not sure it works for non Sugar Labs members.

[IAEP] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[Samson Goddy]

Hello,

I am requesting to SLOB. To add Pericherla Seetaramaraju  (Google Summer of
Code Intern), Hirish Patel (Contributor and Google Summer of Code Mentor)
and Ibiam Chihurumnaya (Member of Sugar Labs). I mentioned at the meeting
that we need more members in the Membership/Election committee.


I will appreciate if someone second this motion for voting.



Regards

Samson Goddy
