Updates Guidelines for suspension or removal #160

Closed plehegar closed 11 months ago

plehegar commented 2 years ago

These changes allow:

  1. Chair/TC is always expected to send a warning to the person before further actions
  2. Allow Chair/TC to suspend a participant temporarily, instead of waiting for the CEO to step in
  3. Make it clear that any disagreement between Chairs or TCs can be resolved by going to the CEO

This is a follow-up to https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/592

Note that the part "If anyone raises an issue to the CEO that a participant fails to meet the requirements" was not intended to be subjected to the Chairs asking for a removal or suspension. So I moved it up out of that sub-bullet.

Thanks to @swickr and @jeffjaffe for their initial feedback. This is ready for wider review.

I suggest to remove "within 6 months" because it complicates things and is harder to check/verify and enforce.

That was added because previously there was no time limit on it at all, meaning that after one escalation no Chair or team member could ever take further action without going via the CEO. That seemed unreasonable to me, and I felt that some duration should be specified after which reversion to the normal state for any participant would occur.

Note: Need to clarify who is expected to communicate a decision.

I fixed the link in the original comment. It's now tied to the branch itself rather than a commit, so should always be up-to-date.

Note that #162 is proposing to do an intermediary step instead. Its scope is reduced due to the immediate need to remove the requirement on the Chairs to send the warning, as well as making it clear that CEPC takes precedence over the Guidebook.
