Modifying the "Petition of no confidence article". Sounds good.
Your proposal: """ Forced re-election: 10 individual members may contact the election officials requesting a petition of non confidence in the board. If 20 per cent or more openSUSE members require a new board, an election will be held for the complete elected Board seats. """ For my understanding: do you see your reformulation as equivalent to the following? """ Petition of No Confidence: When the Board Elections are not running, 10 openSUSE members may contact the Election Committee to request a petition of non confidence. The Election Committee then sees to organize a community-wide vote on the petition. The petition is accepted if the vote results in 20 per cent of Yes. If the petition is accepted, the Board is dismissed immediately and the Election Committee organizes a new election to be held no longer than < n weeks > after the vote. """ If you had in mind something different, which are the differences which would make you prefer your version?
What you wrote reflects what I had in mind, however the reason I prefer my version is I intentionally wanted to keep the differences as small as possible to make the functional changes as clear as possible otherwise I would have also cleaned up the other sentences a bit better. One of the main factors in deciding to take this approach is that the board has given its in principle support to using its 2/3rds majority to make non functional changes that clear up the wording so if the vote is successful then i'd change the wording to something like your proposal at the same time as going through the rest of the document to make it clearer in order to keep uniformity etc. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
