Items of discussion

  • Common Maintainers management policy

  • Port of governing docs from wiki

    • https://github.com/hyperledger/tsc/pull/3

    • Can we pull this into our wiki from Github? Just want to make sure it is included in our search.

    • It was a direct port.

    • The point of this exercise is to consolidate the documentation and to update it.

  • House cleaning

    • Project Proposals

    • Found some proposals that were not properly tagged and without the TSC review list.

      • Multi-language documentation is now over on github: close.

      • No-code development platform: continue discussion on wiki page.

      • Solang Solidity compiler: on hold for now.

  • Proposed 2020 TSC Election Plan

    • August 16 - August 31: Run the eligibility scripts daily to gather the email addresses of contributors.

    • August 31:

      • Launch web service to check emails and link email addresses.

      • Publish email template for submitting nominations to the TSC.

    • October 1:

      • Formally announce the slate of candidates.

    • October 4 - 10:

      • Voting via Condorcet

    • October 11:

      • Publish results

    • Questions:

      • What is the cutoff date for eligibility for running/voting for 2020 election? August 31?

      • Should we split up the voting over a two week period to maximize the opportunity for people to vote? It would still be seven days total just three days one week and four days the next?

      • Does this plan outline the process by which the chair and vice chair are selected and when?

      • What is the official term for the incoming TSC? When do they start?

        • There needs to be a transition period after the election results are published but before the new TSC term so that incoming members can elect the new chair/vice and get on the mailing list and in general figure out which way is up.

        • This plan is to publish results on October 10th.

          • One possible plan:

            • Give TSC members until the 15th to decide if they want to run for chair/vice.

            • Have joint old-new TSC meeting on the 15th.

            • Chair/vice election from the 15th - 22nd.

            • New TSC takes over on October 22nd.

          • Another:

            • Chair/vice decision and admin transition time from 10th - 22nd.

            • Joint old-new TSC meeting on the 22nd.

            • Chair/vice election from 22nd - 28th.

            • New TSC takes over on November 1st.
