Hi, Good questions in there, that need to be clearly documented. Le mercredi 05 mars 2008 à 12:59 +0100, jdd a écrit :

Yes, just the chairmam should be appointed by Novell. Everybody else should vote for anybody.
anybody should be allowed to vote, but not for anybody.
Let's show an example. say the ten first choices after the vote are non Novell.
choices 1 and 2 are elected. but then you have to look at the 11th on the list (novell)?
No, you vote twice: once for candidates that are not Novell employees and once for candidates that are Novell employees. So you wouldn't look at the 11th on the list.
And what mean Novell? does that mean "presented by Novell on a list", or only apponted by Novell?
I have no idea, but I would love this to be "someone who wants to be a candidate and is working for Novell", and not someone appointed by Novell.
what if he's only the Novells house keeper?
He's still working for Novell :-)
what if resign from Novell two month after? what if he's fired by Novell?
I suggest he'd have to resign from the board and that either the board appoint a new person to fill the empty spot, or that there's a new vote for this spot.
what if the board member is _employed_ by Novell after hes election?
Same thing. The board member should resign and someone else should join (by being appointed by the rest of the board, or being elected with a new vote).
No. Th only clean way is to have Novell choose (and renew is fired or dismiss) they members and all the community choose the (2) others
I think the community can still prefer to see Novell employee A instead of Novell employee B in the board. So it makes sense to let the community elect the Novell people on the board too.
