Hi Tech Board, The initial deadline [1] for nominations for the Developer Membership Board (DMB) just passed yesterday. The DMB is currently composed of 7 members. Since the terms for 5 members are expiring, we have 5 vacancies and we have 5 nominees. [2]
I didn't see any documentation for how this situation should be handled. Here are some options: 1) No vote is necessary. The 5 nominees will join the DMB upon confirmation by the DMB. 2) A vote is necessary. There should a None of the Above option. 3) We could extend the deadline in hopes of avoiding needing to do either of the first 2 options. #2 is similar to how Debian votes, such as in the recently concluded Debian Project Leader election where there was only one nominee. I believe #3 is similar to what was done last year except that there fewer nominees than vacancies at the initial deadlines. I am adding this question to the Agenda for the next TB meeting scheduled for April 24.
