I'm not sure where 6/7 was agreed, but I'd be against that for a few reaso= ns: - Requiring a 6/7 majority makes it very difficult to pass a vote because a= lmost everybody has to be available, in attendance and in agreement. - It means that companies that have two representatives on the board (curre= ntly Intel and 6WIND) effectively have a veto. - A minor point, but whatever level we decide on should be expressed as a p= ercentage so that it's applicable if/when the board size changes. >=20 > > - I've updated the charter (section 3 - Project Governance) to reflect > these changes. >=20 > I wonder what part of the TB process must be in this charter. > I think we agreed that the TB process must be documented elsewhere? All the other LF project charters that I've looked at include the compositi= on/responsibilities/process of their Tech Board/TSC. If this body is respon= sible for technical oversight of the project, then I think it needs to be a= greed and documented in the charter. My proposal is that we include the Tech Board in the charter doc, but leave= the lower-level details of the day-to-day governance (maintainers, how the= y're added/removed etc.) to the Contributor's Guidelines. We can discuss an= d agree how much needs to be in the charter at the next meeting.
