Maria, Venka, Steven, Eli and I have revisited the proposed conference committee processes, addressing previous concerns from Maria and Venka. After some adjustments, we are all now happy with the text [1].<br>
<br>
Could all please run your eyes over this and comment on whether you think it is ok, or whether you think there is something extra needing to be changed.<br>
<br>
Once we have heard from the majority of the committee (preferably all), and any comments raised have been addressed, I'll start a motion as a separate email thread to finalise these processes. I'll leave up to 2 weeks, till 10 Jan for people to comment).<br>
<br>
The changes include:<br>
<br>
* There is no set number of people on the committee, just a requirement that global FOSS4G chairs/co-chairs make up more than 50% of the committee.<br>
<br>
* Major decisions will have a minimum of 1 week for people to vote to try and ensure there is sufficient time for most (if not all) committee members to vote.<br>
<br>
* A number of other minor tweaks to the text.<br>
<br>
Note: We currently have 11 global foss4g chair/co-chairs on the conference committee. Based on proposed rules, we have space for 10 more people on the committee (totaling 21). We currently have 16 members [2] listed.<br>
<br>
Jeroen, Helena, you both recently volunteered to step down from the committee. I'm hopeful that you might reconsider and rejoin.<br>
