Hi All, Some time ago (January 2009 apparently), I crafted the following proposal for the Cali-team structure - https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVvuU9dbI-YnZGhtOWh6cHZfMjYzcXpxdDhoZA&hl=en - It was met with some interest at the time but never enacted. While, I am in no way really attached to any particular detail of that proposal, I will mention that it contains a three-person leadership council - where specifically each of the three leaders represented a different region of California. Additionally, each was elected once a year.
Sorry I missed the IRC meeting yesterday, but I'd like to mention now that I think it is important that before this election takes place, we also have in place a plan to carry out future elections on a regular basis - so, we have a continuous feedback cycle. I.e. - I think we should have a very brief but well-defined leadership structure for the group laid out somewhere. (Forgive me if this is already up on the Wiki somewhere). Anyway, given the above, I obviously vote for the 3-person council - and hope the short list of bylaws etc are coded up somewhere.
