So, it looks like the TB 'ratification' of our charter is basically stalled and I don't see any kind of vote on it actually happening anytime soon.
What I'd like to propose to our team is to simply drop our need to get any kind of ratification from the TB, and to remove the TB approval stipulation from our charter (so our team can make changes to it just by a vote). There's no actual need for us to get our charter ratified by the TB that I know of (I certainly don't know of anything in writing requiring it), and we always considered the TB to have the power to overrule and/or revert any decision or action we made, anyway. So simply approving our own charter and moving on without the TB probably is the best approach, IMHO. If you both have no concerns about that, I'd suggest that we do one more round of discussion on the charter with the 'TB approval' parts removed and make any other adjustments we think are appropriate, and then vote to finalize it, and move on with actually getting real work done :-) One change we may want to consider is adding a higher vote requirement for charter changes, like maybe a 2/3 or 3/4 vote instead of simple majority - like what mapreri suggested before. That probably makes more sense without the additional requirement for TB approval. We do have a IRC meeting tomorrow (Wed) so we can discuss then if needed and hopefully have a decision by the end of the meeting; I'll put a discussion item on the agenda. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
