In Reply to: [gentoo-project] [GLEP 39 overhaul] Does the council need a lead? by Denis Dupeyron
1 Summary for this topic. Again a list of voting propositions to be
2 discussed during the meeting.
3
4 - Unlike other projects the council does not need a lead.
5
6 - The council needs a lead who will take charge of coordinating
7 council actions and act as a speaker, secretary, chairman, etc.. (or
8 will be responsible for finding somebody to execute these tasks), and
9 will be the one to blame in case of them not being executed properly.
10
11 - Same as above and the council lead gets an additional vote when
12 needing to break ties.
13
14 - The council needs a lead who will also act as community/distro
15 leader. What exactly that could mean needs to be defined.
16
17 Separate decision (which could depend on the result of the previous vote):
18
19 - The council lead is elected by the newly elected members. The
20 council members can decide to elect a new lead at any time (in case of
21 away or slacking or else).
22
23 - The council lead is elected by the developer community. How
24 exactly? And how does the community replace the lead in case (s)he
25 performs poorly or else?
26
27 Denis.
