proposed change to a rotating Secretary role #116

Closed samspills closed 8 months ago

samspills commented 8 months ago

A common theme in our meetings was an adjustment of the Chair role. I have tried to capture the ideas expressed:

Discussion Points

  1. We discussed (in the Monday meeting) that the Secretary would also act as a "sheepdog", generally shepherding and helping to progress committee projects/initiatives. I have attempted to capture this explicit responsibility, but please bike shed on language
  2. We discussed (in both meetings) that the position should be a rotating one. I arbitrarily chose 12 months for this PR. Is that too long? Should it be 6 months?

This is very much just a first draft that I've put together (and I'm not very good at sounding official), so please feel free to propose changes and discuss!

Per the charter, this PR will require approvals from 2/3 of committee members before being accepted and merged.

Going to let this stabilize a couple more days before calling the vote, so as not to stifle discussion, but I'll count approvals after the most recent commit as affirmative if you want to vote early.

@typelevel/steering: Discussion has tapered off, so I am calling the vote. Open until November 2, 2023, 03:00 UTC and quorum (7) is reached, whichever is later.

Threshold is 2/3 affirmative.

Quorum (7 > 6) is reached and vote is affirmed (100% >= 2/3).
