Core Team Voting Process

Matthieu Sozeau edited this page Oct 12, 2022 · 11 revisions

This is just a proposal at this stage.

To resolve certain conflicting situations, the core team can proceed to vote on a binary decision, as an ultimate recourse in case consensus cannot be reached. The result binds the core team only and it is its responsibility to enforce the decision.

  • Core team members each have a vote (including coordinator).
  • Abstention is ok. Delegation of a vote is ok.
  • Majority of >= 2/3 of casted votes (in Q)
  • Votes take place online, anonymously, within a 72hr voting window.
  • The vote must be announced with precise options 2 weeks in advance by the coordinator.
  • Decision to take a vote is taken by the coordinator, taking input from the core team members.
  • In case a majority of >= 2/3 cannot be reached, the coordinator can decide to launch a second vote (with the same announcement conditions) to be decided by > 50% majority. In case of a tie, the coordinator's vote decides the election.
