[Qgis-psc] QGIS AGM 2018

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Denis

Thanks for your inputs Denis. I think it is better to separate the idea of an AGM and an ‘open forum’ meeting.


IMHO the AGM should be very focussed on the governance mechanism of the project with very specific, vote-ready motions put before the voting members. I believe our current format already supports this. Simply raise a motion (for example request to change the charter or other proposal to regularise the management of the project) on the form provided and we will share a subsequent form to the voting members where they can vote on all the issues raised. One thing that could be improved in the current system is that each motion should be seconded by at least one other voting member.

For open forum meetings where back and forth discussion is needed, our hackfests are a good place to manage this.


Anyway by all means things can always be improved - I will leave it to you the voting members to work with the incoming PSC and Board and Chair to iterate and improve on the processes that are already in place!

Regards

Tim

I will ask all the nominees to make a short 1 paragraph entry and then distribute it to you all for review. If you want to read these first, then please hold off on casting your votes until we have shared these.
