OCI TOB Elections for 2017 #20

Closed caniszczyk closed 7 years ago

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

FYI @opencontainers/tob, just a friendly reminder that some 4 spots will open up in the TOB early next year:

@crosbymichael, @gregkh, @xemul and @vbatts spots will open up. They are free to nominate themselves and run again though if they so wish. A simple reminder that nominations will come from the TDC maintainers (everyone in a MAINTAINERS file).

"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"

"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."

We will also elect a new TOB chair directly afterwards and by Feb 11th.

My proposed schedule is this:

Let me know if you have any comments.

@caniszczyk Where do nominations go again? I forget the process.

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

@philips I'll simply create a google form or just use a github issue, let me know if you have a strong preference

philips commented 7 years ago

no preference

@philips we'll use a google form, it's a bit easier to track data that way, I'll shoot an email to dev@ letting people know. I'll also open nominations today to give people a longer amount of time. Here is the google form: https://goo.gl/forms/WRVqwE1ePj3P2SIi2

Note that TDC maintainers (everyone in a MAINTAINERS file across projects) 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.

philips commented 7 years ago

Today is Jan 16th 2017; Nominations Close today.

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

Friendly ping for the @opencontainers/image-spec-maintainers @opencontainers/runtime-spec-maintainers @opencontainers/runtime-tools-maintainers @opencontainers/image-tools-maintainers

So far 12 people have given me their list of nominations, so thank you for that.

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

Thanks, 16 people have responded so far with a great set of candidates.

I will close nominations at the end of today UTC time.

I sent out a reminder email to all those who haven't voted too.

RobDolinMS commented 7 years ago

@caniszczyk After the close of nominations, will you be posting the list of all nominated candidates?

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

@RobDolinMS I will post it later tonight here and the voting emails will go out to all qualified TDC maintainers.

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

Here is the final list of candidates:

The voting will happen via CIVS (http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/) and every official TDC maintainer (exists in a MAINTAINERS file will receive an email to do a ranking vote).

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

Just as a heads up, I will start voting tomorrow.

I emailed the list of candidates to see if anyone wants to opt out from a nomination.

thockin commented 7 years ago

Appreciate the nomination - where's the summary of exactly what are the responsibilities and time commitment?

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

@thockin the time commitment is fairly minimal, the TOB doesn't formally meet unless they decide to call a meeting (e.g., if a major conflict arises). I believe @philips or the rest of the @opencontainers/tob can speak to the level of commitment.

In terms of responsibilities: https://github.com/opencontainers/tob#technical-oversight-board-tob

The TOB is responsible for managing conflicts, violations of procedures or guidelines and any cross-project or high-level issues that cannot be resolved in the TDC for OCI Projects. The TOB shall also be responsible for adding, removing or reorganizing OCI Projects.

More info found in the charter section 6: https://www.opencontainers.org/about/governance

In terms of mailing list activity, you can see the level of activity here (fairly minimal): https://groups.google.com/a/opencontainers.org/forum/#!forum/tob

I'm happy to stand for election if folks want (and thanks for the nomination, whoever that was), but I'm not sure I (or the other non-maintainers: @estesp, @gregkh, @rhatdan, @RobDolinMS, and @thockin) are eligible. More on this in #24 to avoid distracting from this election if folks don't want to get into it now.

caniszczyk commented 7 years ago

Sent out the CIVS poll to all maintainers, look for an email from Condorcet Internet Voting Service civs@cs.cornell.edu
