(continued from here)
Things to work on:
Your experiences and thoughts desired on the following!
- Elections — this part is up and running already, see 2022 Governance Plan
- Adjusting number and quotas for seats (representation by demographics, region)
- Definition of a GOSH community member in terms of voter eligibility
- Requiring a retro/post-mortem to be done well in advance of the next election
- Set up community-wide decision-making, like a referendum, which would be required for big decisions like installing a Constitution:
- What types of decisions would require a referendum?
- What amounts of community participation would be valid?
- How can the community set the agenda for what should go to referendum?
- Relationships with other organizations across the world, e.g. OSHF or OSEG (Open Source Ecology Germany)
- How to initiate
- Nature of the relationship
- How to formalize it
- What is the term of the relationship, and when does it get revisited?
- Internal Council process (quorum for decisions, mode of reasoning, sync/async, etc)
- Term limits for council people
- Defining working groups, Council-backed, ad hoc, etc.
- Developing role of councilors as coordinators of Council-backed Working Groups
- Figure out if the Council person role should/could be a paid role
- Anything else?
What should YOU do?
Please respond to this thread with any of your thoughts and feedback.
ALSO, if you have the skills/knowledge/experience and are willing to help, please respond here or in this message thread to the Council to work closely with @lizbarry and @hpy and take on the detailed development of one or more of these sections. Thanks to OSHF, there is funding available (ask for details!)!
