Elections #259

Closed jasnell closed 7 years ago

jasnell commented 7 years ago

It's time to kick off the election for TSC Director and TSC Chair. The nomination period starts now through next Thursday (the 11th). @nodejs/tsc members only, please leave a comment here if you intend to run for 1) TSC Director, 2) TSC Chair, 3) Both. If you'd like, you may nominate another TSC member for the positions. If that happens, the nominated member should respond to accept the nomination.

We will start the voting process on May 11th

@isaacs I'd also say https://github.com/nodejs/community-committee/issues/31

mhdawson commented 7 years ago

@jasnell we should probably post our "blurbs" in the same place. Have you already figured out a good place ? Otherwise we can probably just open a new issue to capture those.

jasnell commented 7 years ago

@mhdawson ... New issue works for me

shigeki commented 7 years ago

Sorry, I was off. I opt out both. I've just updated https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/259#issuecomment-301265544.

@nebrius CommComm has autonomy to decide on its own how to handle its election, let's not blur the lines between CommComm and the TSC by merging the discussion.

> CommComm has autonomy to decide on its own how to handle its election, let's not blur the lines between CommComm and the TSC by merging the discussion. I don't really agree with this. Each committee has the _autonomy_ to handle its own elections, yes, but that doesn't mean they _should_ be different. Each committee is struggling with this same problem right now, and I think it's in our best interest to collaborate with each other to come up with the best solution possible. Let's not reinvent the wheel here. As prior art on sharing processes, CommComm and the TSC have the autonomy to handle their own CoC and moderation, but we've chosen to go with a unified approach because it reduces confusion and also reduces overhead necessary to administer these things.

EDIT: putting off-topic comment in details tag

jasnell commented 7 years ago

@mikeal and @nebrius ... sorry, but that particular conversation should be had in a separate thread. thank you

mhdawson commented 7 years ago

Added https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/264 to address @rvagg 's suggestion above https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/259#issuecomment-301292534.

trevnorris commented 7 years ago

Please remove me from the lists.

Fishrock123 commented 7 years ago

I am not running for either position, sorry.

joshgav commented 7 years ago

I doubt @piscisaureus is either so we're back where we started :)

mhdawson commented 7 years ago

@mikeal should we have received a new ballots ?

mikeal commented 7 years ago

@jasnell I want to make sure I get this right, can you give the final list of candidates in each position?

jasnell commented 7 years ago

@mikeal, given that we did not receive and opt out or acceptance from Bert, and given the opt outs we did receive... The candidates for each position are:

Director: @jasnell @mhdawson Chair: @mhdawson

mikeal commented 7 years ago

Ok, so following this means that @mhdawson is the Chair. We don't have an election when there is only one candidate (https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/blob/master/TSC-Charter.md#section-7-elections).

Based on earlier statements I guess this means that if elected to the board director @mhdawson may step down from one of the seats and if he steps down from the chair we'll just need to have another election.

New ballot is up and a new email should have gone out.

jasnell commented 7 years ago

@nodejs/tsc: Not sure if new email notifications went out but the link in the ballot email that was sent out a couple of days ago still works. Please cast your votes!

mikeal commented 7 years ago

We're still waiting on 6 people to vote in the election, please get it in this week!!!

mikeal commented 7 years ago

What time today should we close the election?

Right now the margin between the two candidates is 2 votes and there are still two people who haven't voted :/

jasnell commented 7 years ago

Let's call it at 6pm

mikeal commented 7 years ago

Ok, might be a little after 6pm if I'm eating dinner at that time :P

mhdawson commented 7 years ago

6pm or there about sounds good to me as well.

mikeal commented 7 years ago

James Snell has won the election for Board Chair.

Michael Dawson is still the TSC Chair as he won the prior election.

jasnell commented 7 years ago

Thank you @mikeal.
