Agenda
- Review outcomes from 16 December Community Call
- Identify outstanding issues and task list to complete governance plan
- Election Quorum
- As more people we consider active, more absent participation there will be, so is better not to set a quorum based on the percentage of total active people
- Possibly define quorum as a fixed number, e.g. 100, e.g. based on # people who go to GOSH meetings, but 100 is a lot.
- Regional diversity
- Hard to establish a framework for first election
- Challenging to define “where” a person is from - birthplace, residence, location of employer/institution, etc.
- Would need to formally define regions
- Potentially provide voting guidelines to consider regional diversity
- TBD: Draft language to voters
- Pass forward to elected Community Council
- Hard to establish a framework for first election
- Issue of 4-3 votes, when a super majority would be required, if the vote is 4-3, than half of the community is unhappy
- Pass forward to elected Community Council
- Need to address term limits
- Recommendation:
- Term limit of 2 terms
- Can run again after 1 term off
- Put differently, you can only run for re-election once
