I think *all* former elected members accepting the task is probably two many, especially if you look 20-30 years into the future.
I have no idea of the number of previous board members still members and accepting the task :-) it was only a way to launch a constructive discussion. Richard is right to say this group can't be elected on purpose The only downside to such an arrangement is
that the community can't remove those people if they believe they handled the situation incorrectly.
this is on purpose: this group have to be untouchable (think it have to work on problems with the board!) I see this as a conciliation/arbitration group, not a decision one. If any major act should be held, a community vote could be necessary (as the recent board removal vote). this group advice could be called by a small subset of the members, neither too large (could never be called) nor too small (not to be called by an individual): 10 members? any members could launch a ballot that would have to be signed by 10 members for the arbitration to start? (10 given here randomly, advice needed, could be 10% of members) Having said that if someone proposes
a nicely written amendment to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules
My english is probably not that good to be able to do so, but I'm pretty sure the discussion will go to a result many option can be seen: random choice among ancient board members (if there are many), or among members for a given length of time (at least 5 years??) I don't know if everybody here knows that in the last days the members of membership officials where asked to act like this, but the online meeting we had didn't prove us to like the role, partly because this "team" have no legitimacy do do so, being only co-opted to check the value of membership applications (fact, not opinions). everybody is invited to give it's opinion on the subject :-)) jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
