Topic: Board reappointment, and nomination of new directors
e6cb59
e6cb59
Open discussion should take place on public lists, with clear expectations that the vote happens in the board meeting, but that discussion, and nominations, are welcome from the community
e6cb59
Discussion of staggering (6 month offset for half of the directors) vs 12 months?
e6cb59
Two directors have indicated a desire to step down - Karsten Wade and Carl Trieloff - and need to be replaced. Their term as Directors will end effective April 30th, 2021.
e6cb59
Consideration: Maintaining the tension between “new blood” and continuity of leadership.
e6cb59
As we take this to the community, we need to be abundantly clear *what* we are asking of them, but early transparent discussion is preferred where possible.
e6cb59
Action: Discussion of how we address it if/when someone steps down. Interim board members to maintain above the minimum number of seats? Rich to write up proposals for solutions, to present to the board.
e6cb59
Board sentiment is not in favor of an “interim” member class, further differentiating between different directors.
e6cb59
Action: Proposal for “emergency election” for replacing a board member who steps down out of cadence. (Rich to add to above proposals.)
e6cb59
Discussion of development packages not provided in CentOS Stream: Red Hat is keenly aware of the desire to make buildroot packages available in the CentOS Stream project. Progress has been made on plans to enable this in some manner in CentOS Stream without requiring changes to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The team is currently working to resolve some technical issues.
