f3eba8
 * Look into SIG guide
f3eba8
 * https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide 
f3eba8

f3eba8
f3eba8
* What are merit levels?
ac2dcb
0. SIG Chair(s) exist & have membership.
ac2dcb
1. SIG Chair(s) can sponsor members.
ac2dcb
2. SIG Chair(s) can sign content.
f3eba8
f3eba8
* Maybe can delegate sponsorship?
f3eba8
  * Proposal -- Board sponsor suggest SIG is ready and asks for vote. (post-minutes comment from KW:  Meaning, when the Board sponsor for a SIG thinks it is ready to move up the merit levels, that Board member asks the Board to vote on the rise. Presumably others can also suggest, but the sponsor really is the champion for a SIG on the Board, as per Governance.)
f3eba8
  * Vote:
