Outstanding Action Items
Discussion items
| Time | Item | Who | Notes |
|---|
| 1min | Select Scribe for meeting | group | we need someone to minute the meeting |
| 39 min | Lockdown standards ratification | group | Nick proposed to the group that we live edit Standards Ratification Process - Saori:
- I don't think the use cases need to be proposed at meeting; they can be progressed at each meeting
Discussion proceeded to discussion on the proposed voting procedure on use cases within the Use Case WG. - Saori contextualized that this was voting just specific to the use cases approval process (implication that this is not necessarily the voting procedure/voter criteria that should be used for a wider group)
- Nick: My concern that is the administrative overhead of this is too complicated and if things won't just sort them out without this rule.
- Rob mentioned that:
- Eventually we may have votes with hundreds of ppl voting, so may want to have the precedent now around qualified voters
- JT: said that when you reject, you have to also have a reason
- Do we want
Notes from Aaron W re voting for reference and consideration: Here are my thoughts on voting procedure for working groups. Generally, any voting procedure is fine so long as it clearly defines:
- What is the outcome being voted on
- Who is eligible to vote
- A clear time period during which votes may be cast
- How to cast a vote
- The quorum (if any) required for a binding vote
- The threshold required for a vote to pass
Here are some options for 2 - 5:
- Who is eligible to vote
- Anyone who has attended X out of the last Y meetings
- Anyone who attended the meeting where the issue was discussed and the vote called
- Anyone who is subscribed to the WG mailing list (but beware heckler votes/uninformed voters)
- A clear time period during which votes may be cast
- During the meeting where the vote is called
- For X days following the announcement of the vote at a meeting or over email
- How to cast a vote
- "Yea/Yes/Approve/Agree" or "Nay/No/Disapprove/Disagree" aloud during meeting
- "+1" (approve), "-1" (disapprove), or "0" (abstain) over email or Symphony chat
- The quorum required for a binding vote
- No quorum; simple majority of votes cast during voting period
- A majority of the people eligible to vote
- The threshold required for a vote to pass
- A majority of votes cast
- A number of votes equal to a majority of eligible voters
- A specific number of votes
I'd say the least complicated route is to announce each vote via an email to the mailing list, allow a week or two for votes to be cast, require voting via email, and make the threshold a majority of votes cast. However, if there is concern over disengaged or bad-faith voters, they should consider a minimum participation requirement for eligibility.
