- Shift councils?
- Active recuitment is necessary
- How to find the right people to fulfil the tasks in PC, CC, TC? Be more specific in regard to the needs?
- PC: we need PO's - if your institutions is sending a PO - this person gets a seat in PC? A proposal from Harry
- Boaz Nadav Manes (Lehigh) 15:24: We just didn’t have enough people
- Until today, there was no rush of candiates for the councils
- Ian: do we need elections? Makes a lot of work! If we need PO's in the councils, do we need the overhead of elections?
- Tom 15:28: To what degree do we think that POs and Tech leads aren’t currently represented or engaged in those respective councils?
- Harry 15:35: I agree with the CC continuing to exist and having elections
Ian Walls an Alle 15:36: I think the CC or something similar has to exist in order to manage the FOLIO SMLLC entity. but again, that's just 1 player in the community, not the community itself Maccabee Levine an Alle 15:36 The TC functions extremely well by lazy consensus, and when there is disagreement we talk it out. But there was a decision last week that actually required a vote to decide. And a vote becomes meaningless if there are no elected representatives. Harry an Alle 15:36: And as Kirstin describes it, isn’t that the CC’s role? - Kirstin: PC / CC / TC more than one role. It's about balancing interests of different partners and giving everyone a voice and steer the project at large. Elections are an important tool in a democratic process; This discussion is really good. But I think, the time is too short to change it this year. → Agreeement
- Result: Maybe we need to discuss this topic in the future (Wolfcon?) and the CC asks the election committee to continue to organize the election
