I believe most people by now have had time to respond to the thread where the idea and discussion from Prague around a technical board was started (April 12). Based on the feedback received, I summarize and offer the following make-it-simple suggestion: We create an iptel.org technical board (TB: 1. The board is responsible for resolving issues that is not possible to be resolve through a community consensus process, and it is allowed to take action where it finds necessary for the benefit of the iptel.org community. 2. The board is common for all iptel.org projects. 3. The board shall consist of five (5) members and the term shall be two years. 4. A board member can stay for several terms. 5. The five members shall be selected with one representative from SEMS, two from the SER developer (cvs write access) community, and two representatives for the broader iptel.org community. 6. All seruser and serdev subscribers nominate candidates, as well as vote. 7. Electable members must be contributors to iptel.org in some way and should not be controversial among subscribers. 8. Each subscriber can give his/her vote to one or more candidates, up to the number of board members (5). Process forward: People should respond with concerns and suggestions to this post. If there is consensus for changes, I will work as the editor and write up a new suggestion. Once the community can agree to the set of rules governing the board, we will proceed to nomination of candidates and then voting. g-) _______________________________________________ Sems mailing list Sems(a)lists.iptel.org http://lists.iptel.org/mailman/listinfo/sems
