Canonical charter document #15405
Comments
Created branch for governance reset. It contains a new GOVERNANCE.md file in the root directory. As a public workbench, see |
Summary of proposed changes: |
Discussion in today's TSC. Minutes: Proposed inactivity rule: no TSC meeting attendance in a month; attendance by proxy is acceptable; a genuine excuse for not attending suffices Warning period: notify and give two weeks to respond Location of governance documentation: When somebody goes inactive, special election to fill seat. This replaces the reactivation rule. If fall below a quorum, LF Connectivity assumes authority. In finalizing new charter, loop in LFC. This especially includes Magma TAC and LFC TAB. In quorum section, abstention can go on record but does not influence quorum. "Subject to approval by LF Projects" change "Projects" to "Connectivity". |
Implementation notes: This item is now 2.b.i and 2.b.ii:

Changes made to Governance repository. Pull request for my changes: That should not be merged until the new charter in GOVERNANCE.md is voted on. Because of the importance of these changes, approval on the PR should come from the TSC Chair. |
TSC vote today for the current version of the charter. There were no objections. The vote was proposed by Jordan and Seconded by Som. Jim and Lucas voted For. Yogesh was absent and will record his vote via Github. The final step is approval from LF Projects. To complete this we need a meeting with Legal. We should inform them that the current version has been accepted by the TSC. |
There are multiple versions of the Magma charter document circulating. We need to identify them all, identify differences, figure out which one is currently in force, and remove or archive the others.
