OCI TOB Elections 2022 #104

Closed caniszczyk closed 2 years ago

caniszczyk commented 2 years ago

A new year means a new election:

Call for Nominations will open on Mon, Nov 29 2021 and end on Mon, Jan 10 2022 Call for Votes will open Tue, Jan 11 2022 and end on Tue, January 18 2022. Vote winner will be announced on Monday, January 24th

Each OCI member can submit up to one candidate for nomination, which they are then voted upon by OCI membership. Here are the relevant sections from the OCI charter: https://www.opencontainers.org/about/governance

e. The TOB shall be composed of nine (9) individuals elected for their expertise, contribution to the advancement of container technologies and are considered to be thought leaders in the OCI ecosystem. Anyone may be elected to the TOB, regardless of whether the individual is an employee of an OCI Member, so long as they are an OCI TDC participant. A TOB member is elected as an individual and not as a representative of his or her employer. No more than two (2) TOB members may be employed by the same entity or its affiliates. Affiliates shall be defined as entities owning 50% or more of an entity, or owned by or under common ownership with each other. TOB members may not designate alternative representatives.

f. TOB members shall be split into two (2) groups, serving for a term of two (2) years on a staggered basis, where one group is elected each year. The initial TOB will have four (4) TOB members who will only serve for a term of one year and five (5) TOB members that serve for a term of two (2) years.

g. The initial TOB shall be established through a nomination and election process. The first group from which four (4) TOB members shall be elected, will be nominated and elected by the current TDC maintainers, initially identified in Section 4(e), and serve for a period of one (1) year. Each TDC maintainer may nominate up to two (2) candidates for election, except that only one (1) nominee may be employed by the TDC maintainer’s own company. The second group from which five (5) TOB members shall be elected, will be nominated and elected by the OCI Members and serve for a period of two (2) years. Each OCI Member may nominate one (1) candidate for election.

The 5 TOB slots open are:

https://opencontainers.org/about/governance is a 404 for me -- can we redirect it to https://github.com/opencontainers/tob/blob/main/CHARTER.md?

geekygirldawn commented 2 years ago

I'm curious where the nominations can be found - in other words, is there a list of nominees that we can see ahead of the election kicking off?

caniszczyk commented 2 years ago

@geekygirldawn it's available only for OCI member organizations, I forwarded you a note and primary OCI contact for your company that will be responsible for the nomination

caniszczyk commented 2 years ago

@jonjohnsonjr fixed with https://github.com/opencontainers/opencontainers.org/pull/112

As the new person to this process, is there a place where candidates can make their statements?

I meant statements like "If elected I will give everyone unicorns and rainbows".

amye commented 2 years ago

Yes, we do not currently have a process for that - nominations and bios are the statements submitted. Want to put them in here instead?

nishakm commented 2 years ago

I can do that :)

nishakm commented 2 years ago

To voters, here is my statement:

If elected I will work with members of the TOB and the OCI community to improve the governance of the OCI project. I will specifically work towards defining, documenting and improving processes involved in getting features requested by stakeholders accepted into the various specification. These include:

This nomination cycle seems to have had confusion around the fact that nominations and voting is done by the member seats, being: those that paid money to the foundation to be a member.

Not an open nomination, nor open voting.

cyphar commented 2 years ago

Ah right, now that I re-read (g) it makes more sense. Carry on. 😅
