Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: OpenACS Core Team Selection Issues

- Staggered terms: I think it's a good idea to have half the inital seats be for 6 month terms.
- I think the people with the most votes should get elected for the longest terms. How about that?
- I think for the initial election we should relax the rule that only OCT members not up for election can sponsor candidates.
- I'm not really sure what other criteria should be used besides CVS commit rights. But we do need to define this. People may then want CVS rights even if they don't commit anything. And then we need a formal set of criteria to determine who gets CVS access.
- I'm not sure that making the electoral body bigger should be the most important goal. I think what's important is that the electoral body reflect those with a large stake in the direction of OpenACS.
- I like Technical Steering Committee. Let's restrict their focus to just technical matters. That seems to be the problem we're trying to address. Why do we need a spokesperson for the community, when it is so diverse? What we need is a solution to which direction we head technically, not a spokesperson.
- I'm fine with approval voting or instant runoff.
- voting should be open, I think. Or at least verifiable.
- flat text is fine for this election.
