fungiquiet office hour today15:26
gmannI think after weekly meeting, all office hours are quiet.15:26
fungianyone put any more thought into the vacancy provisions laid out in https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#election-for-tc-seats15:27
fungi?15:27
fungifourth bullet: "If there is no candidate available to fill the vacancy as per above mentioned criteria (either no extra candidate from election results or none of the candidates who do not win in previous elections accept the vacant TC partial term), then special election is held to fill the vacancy."15:28
gmannadded this in etherpad which we can discuss in tomorrow meeting15:29
gmannone option we discussed is to reduce the seat to 815:30
gmannbut that is something need more discussion.15:30
fungiyeah, i think that means amending https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#number-of-seats-to-elect15:30
gmannor in PTG may be15:30
gmannyeah15:30
fungii would be wary of taking a vote to revise the charter without a full set of tc members15:30
fungithere is at least one volunteer to run in a special election for the vacant seat15:31
fungibut also, there's not much point in having rules about how to fill vacancies if the tc decides to no longer have a set number of seats15:32
gmannthis talks about "If a seat on the TC is vacated before the end of the term for which the member was elected, the TC will select a replacement to serve out the remainder of the term. " - https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#election-for-tc-seats15:34
gmannbut does not talk on vacant seat from election15:34
fungithe seat was vacant before the end of the term because there is nobody to serve out any of the term15:35
fungiit does indicate a rule for holding a special election if there are not sufficient additional candidates from the prior election to choose from15:35
gmannmean in between of term. I am finding difficulties to map this to "election vacant seat".  which is first time ever i think15:36
fungiin this case a seat for the 2021-q1 to 2022-q1 term is vacant well before the 2022-q1 election. the charter says the tc will have 9 members in total15:36
fungiyes, the charter doesn't specifically lay out what to do if you don't have enough people run for the tc to fill the available seats, but it has rules which can be applied without particularly distorting their intent15:37
fungiif you forget for a moment that not enough people ran in the 2021-q1 election, the actual words and intent of that provision seem entirely applicable15:38
gmannyeah, I am wondering if that need some charter change too15:38
fungithere is a vacancy, it's too long before the next election to just wait for it to be filled then, and there is explicit guidance in the charter as to how to deal with that exact situation15:39
fungithat the seat was vacated on the day of the prior election seems like a minor detail15:40
fungithe charter doesn't say that it's not applicable to that situation, it just doesn't mention that it also applies in that specific case15:40
fungivacant at the very start of the term seems like it's just a special case of an early term vacancy15:41
fungiwhich the charter already covers15:41
fungianyway, it seems like that would be the safest interpretation of the current charter. and then with a full 9 tc seats, the validity of subsequent votes to amend the charter wouldn't be in question15:43
fungifor example changing vacancy provisions or further adjusting the future tc size15:44
gmannyeah, as i read it seems like we should modify in both option but not sure if its just me.15:45
gmannlet's discuss in tomorrow meeting.15:45
fungialso when is the tc electing its new chair? is that already underway?15:46
fungior is that being deferred until its decided what to do about the vacant seat?15:47
gmannnot yet discussed on chair too.15:47
gmannI do not think chair election needs to wait for vacant seat fill but may be yes if there is election for chair or the 9th member want to be chair or so?15:48
openstackgerritGhanshyam proposed openstack/governance master: Add Ghanshyam nomination as chair  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/78281116:15
gmanntc-members ^^ my nomination for TC chair.16:15
