I nominate @rainbj and @yuyihsu for the chair roles of SIG-UI-UX. They have both done great work in the past and would be happy to see that work continue.
I would like to nominate @bhanuja-s for chair roles for SIG-UI-UX. She has been an active member of the community and has the potential to do the job as well.
I also second the nomination for @bhanuja-s, and fully support them if they wish to accept the chair nomination.
I am incredibly happy to accept @amzn-leenguy and @aFinchy's nomination for the chair roles for SIG-UI-UX. I'm honoured to know that you felt me worthy of such an important responsibility!
Thanks for @aFinchy 's nomination. I've decided to opt out of the SIG-UI-UX nomination in this round, considering I'll be occupied with other initiatives in the upcoming year. It's also a great opportunity for new blood to join the SIG and propose new changes to the SIG operations. I will still be on the SIG-UI-UX committee to participate in meetings and give advices when needed.
Thanks @aFinchy for the nomination. I'm honored. I understand the responsibilities and requirements of the role, and promise to faithfully fulfill them and follow all contributor requirements for O3DE.
Nominations have closed. Thank you all who have participated in the discussion.
Since there was only 2 members nominated there is no need to do a poll and since they have worked out who has what seat already, please welcome and congratulate the new chairs. @rainbj as Chair @bhanuja-s as Co-Chair
The Chair information will be updated in discord shortly.
This Issue will remain open for 2 weeks following message.
Congrats to both @rainbj and @bhanuja-s ! And thank you for all your work in the past @yuyihsu
Thank you for hosting this @aFinchy
Thank you @amzn-leenguy for the nomination, and @aFinchy for hosting this election. I fully understand the responsibilities of this position, and I promise to fulfil them.
The chair / co-chair roles
The chair and co-chair serve equivalent roles in the governance of the SIG and are only differentiated by title in that the highest vote-getter is the chair and the second-highest is the co-chair. The chair and co-chair are expected to govern together in an effective way and split their responsibilities to make sure that the SIG operates smoothly and has the availability of a chairperson at any time.
Unless distinctly required, the term "chairperson" refers to either/both of the chair and co-chair. If a chair or co-chair is required to perform a specific responsibility for the SIG they will always be addressed by their official role title.
In particular, if both chairpersons would be unavailable during a period of time, the chair is considered to be an on-call position during this period. As the higher vote-getter they theoretically represent more of the community and should perform in that capacity under extenuating circumstances. This means that if there is an emergency requiring immediate action from the SIG, the chair will be called to perform a responsibility.
Responsibilities
Additionally, at this stage of the project, the SIG chairpersons are expected to act in the Maintainer role for review and merge purposes only, due to the lack of infrastructure and available reviewer/maintainer pool.
... And potentially more. Again, this is an early stage of the project and chair responsibilities have been determined more or less ad-hoc as new requirements and situations arise. In particular, the community half of this SIG has been very lacking due to no infrastructural support, and a chairperson will ideally bring some of these skills.
Nomination
Nomination may either be by a community member or self-nomination. A nominee may withdraw from the election at any time for any reason until the election starts on 08/01.
Nomination requirements
The only other nomination requirement is that the nominee agrees to be able to perform their required duties and has the availability to do so, taking into account the fact that another chairperson will always be available as a point of contact.
How to nominate
Nominations will be accepted for 2 weeks from 2022-09-01 12:00PM PT to 2022-09-15 12:00PM PT. Nominate somebody (including yourself) by responding to this issue with:
Election process
The election will be conducted for one week from 2022-09-15 12 00PM PT and 2022-09-20 12:00PM PT and held through an online poll. Votes will be anonymous, and anyone invested in the direction of O3DE and the SIG holding the election may vote. If you choose to vote, we ask that you be familiar with the nominees.
If there is a current interim chair, they will announce the results in the Discord SIG channel as well as the SIG O3DE mailing list no later than 2022-09-15 1:00PM PT. If there is no interim chair, the executive director will announce the results utilizing the same communication channels. At that time, if there is a dispute over the result or concern over vote tampering, voting information will be made public to the extent that it can be exported from the polling system and the SIG will conduct an independent audit under the guidance of a higher governing body in the foundation.
The elected chairpersons will begin serving their term on 2022-10-01 at 10:00AM PT. Tentatively, SIG chairs will be elected on a yearly basis.
