To bring the whole voting process in line with Board voting I would also propose that 20% of membership is required to replace foundation or change aspects of it.
Which is nonsense.
As I see it, we as a Project need input from at least majority of members in such major and important topics. This is deciding future. You can't put it in hands of 20%. Add "I abstain", "I don't care" or something similar to get neutral input in voting but I think Project need to hear "something" from membership. If such voting is binding from 20% because we fear that not many more Members will even care to vote then why even bother with setting this artificial border - just accept any voting result.

This isn't as crazy as it seems, 20% which from memory our current membership is 400ish so 80 people would be required to sign a partition, then fresh elections are held where the existing board members can still run again so if the other 300 people disagree with the first 20% they can just re elect the existing board. But this clause is just a failsafe thats always been there, hopefully we will never need to use it. -- 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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
