<p>Hi Tim,</p>
<p>My assumption is that the PSC and board will most likely have
some former members.</p>
<p>I don't think the past PSC members did such a bad job that they
wouldn't be elected.</p>
<p>However, it is unfair not to give other people a chance to
candidate for election.</p>
<p>Also, we already have some positions (like Yves and Lene) that
are essential/important to us and who are not on the PSC (maybe
the should/could be on the PSC though). In the unlikely case that
none or only one or two of the former PSC members get elected, we
could still mentor from outside of the PSC.<br>

<div class="">Hi Tim,<br class="">
<br class="">
Regarding voting:<br class="">
<br class="">
We never really had a voting of the board in the past.
It was kind of who was engaged and committed at the
early or right times got into the PSC. We need to
"correct" this.<br class="">
<br class="">
I think, this time we should start from a plain field -
from zero (empty board). Everybody should have a chance
to get on the PSC and on the board - not just existing
members.<br class="">
<br class="">
We just have to define how many seats the PSC will have
for the next period and give everybody a chance to be a
candidate. The board is defined in the revised charter
(if accepted) as being three people (chair, vice-chair,
treasurer). That's clear.<br class="">
<br class="">
So we should put out a message and ask if there are
interested candidates who want to run for a seat on the
PSC and/or board.<br class="">
<br class="">
And we should define how many seats there are on the
PSC.<br class="">
<br class="">
Would you agree with that?<br class="">

<div>I think there is one downside with this. In the
hypothetical situation that non of us gets voted back into
the board/PSC, there will be no continuity between incoming
and outgoing members. I agree that going with a clean slate
would be nice in some ways but then we would need to agree
to provide some mentoring to the incoming members (even just
for simple stuff like creating <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://qgis.org" class="">qgis.org</a> accounts etc.
showing them how we manage meetings, bank account access
etc). Did you have some idea how to deal with this in your
clean slate scenario?</div>

<br class="">
Yes. That is one sticky problem - we need to bootstrap
who will be first to go up for re-election. Its
probably simplest if we just put our name forward if
we are happy to go up for re-election. I put my own
name forward to start the ball rolling. Gary is immune
from re-election so that means we need two other names
put forward. We can work on a first-to-reply basis so
that we can avoid any awkwardness. Those who don't put
their names forward will be up for re-election next
year.<br class="">
