spotzOnce vw logs off we won't have a quorum.15:07
josephrsandovalyea. im holding15:07
spotzDid you both see John's email?15:08
VW_o/15:09
VW_I did15:09
VW_I had intentionally chosen not to run again, but meant to check in Friday.  However, I was distracted by all day meetings, so I think that just confirms it was a good time for me to take a break ;)15:10
josephrsandovali did15:11
VW_id you opt not to rerun josephrsandoval, or did your announcement get gummed up in a list serv somewhere15:12
josephrsandoval#topic elections15:13
*** openstack changes topic to "elections (Meeting topic: uc)"15:13
josephrsandovali lost track of utc time15:13
josephrsandovalI was waiting to see if we receive any diverse candidates.15:13
spotzSo based on that governance he found we need to contact people who had run in the past but hadn't been elected15:13
spotzSorry in a slack call too:)15:13
josephrsandovalyea thats what john said15:14
josephrsandovalwho would be assigned? the election officials?15:14
VW_yeah - my thought is start with the most recent one that was closest to getting elected and work from there15:14
spotzBased on my research Leong should be cntacted first, then Kevin Carter and then James Page. If none of the accept we'll have too go farther back then a year15:14
VW_or have a special election - if we can do that - I'd have to go reread15:15
VW_but yeah, I think that is the right order, spotz15:15
spotzMy only other suggest is if we get stuck at 4 members let OSF have a veto to break any ties15:15
VW_hmm - interesting15:17
apricei have a question15:17
apricedoes it have to be 5 members?15:17
*** jamesmcarthur has joined #openstack-uc15:19
josephrsandovalthe voting quorum, team coverage, broadens team thought would arguments to keep it at 5.15:20
VW_if anything, I think 5 was a minimum, aprice15:21
VW_let me see if I can did it up15:21
spotzYeah I think an even number is bad:(15:21
VW_looks like it is written as 515:22
VW_The User Committee (UC) will consist of five members. All members selected to the UC shall be Individual Members and Active User Contributors (AUC) based on the definition in the next section.15:22
VW_So, based on the options I see spelled, out the going back to the previous election seems most prudent15:23
VW_this particular case isn't covered explicitly15:24
VW_#link https://governance.openstack.org/uc/reference/charter.html15:24
spotzWell we definitely need to go back, my concern is the farther back we have to go those folks are no longer in the community so we'll need to either have another election or a fallback15:27
josephrsandovalyea. maybe have a time cap of 1 year.15:27
spotzWell the last election there was no voting as no extra candidates so that doesn't help15:28
spotzVW_: did you see who it says has to contact past candidates?15:29
VW_it doesn't say15:29
josephrsandovalright. so time cap of 1 year. fallback election as backup option.15:29
VW_oh yeah, it does15:29
VW_If a seat on the UC is vacated before the end of the term for which the member was elected, the UC will select a replacement to serve out the remainder of the term15:29
spotzThat doesn't help in this case as both your terms are up15:30
VW_Perhaps the best thing to do, is look back at the rules for elections themselves:15:31
VW_The allotted number of UC seats are partially renewed every 6 months using staggered elections: the minority number of seats are renewed every (Northern hemisphere) Spring, and the majority number of seats are renewed every Fall. Seats are valid for one-year terms. For this election we’ll use a single-winner election system. The election is held no later than 3 weeks prior to each OpenStack Summit, with elections held open for no less than fou15:31
VW_r business days.15:31
VW_we are still in the window, so maybe we go with the person who raised their hand is automatically the 4th member, and we run another election to find another15:31
VW_that seems to fit better than going backward15:31
josephrsandovalit might shake out some fence sitters who are interested.15:33
spotzSeems like the best plan. We could do that for a week and then talk to Leong, Kevin and James15:33
VW_either way, we are outside the fully prescribed options, but yeah, I think it would be better to find someone who forgot/wasn't sure than going back a year15:33
VW_should we vote?15:33
spotzI hate to do it without everyone but we do have a quorum so it's legal and saves us time15:34
VW_we could call a special meeting tomorrow and try to get the other two here15:34
VW_but yeah, technically, we can vote15:35
josephrsandoval#startvote15:35
openstackUnable to parse vote topic and options.15:35
josephrsandovali guess i add the argument15:35
ianychoiAs an election official, it is up to UC's decision - if either VW_ or and josephrsandoval want to renew UC, then UC can decide I think..15:36
spotzianychoi: They would still need to run15:36
spotzwe're not filling a early vacated seat15:37
VW_#startvote Should we seat the one candidate as the 4th member and have a second, special, election for the 5th seat within the timeframe spelled out in the charter (yes, no)15:38
openstackUnable to parse vote topic and options.15:38
spotz#vote yes15:39
josephrsandoval#vote yes15:39

VW_#endvote15:39
VW_it didn't officially count them, but everything is logged15:40
VW_in the meeting15:40
josephrsandovalok. anything else on the vote?15:41
VW_Ok - I have to drop.  Let's respond back to the list with the decision here, and let's work with the elecion officials to welcome our new member and get them roped in, etc15:41
josephrsandovalgreat15:41
VW_thanks folks!15:41
spotzHave fun VW_15:41

ianychoiIf UC accepts special second, I am fine with that, but it would be great if renew UCs would provide comment why they missed nomination period15:41

ianychoiWithout this, future elections might get less remark IMO..15:41
ianychois/remark/attention15:42
josephrsandovalagreed15:42
spotzI'm just worried our older former candidates are no longer involved. We could also reach out to the 3 and see if any are interested in running15:44
ianychoispotz, nomination period were closed but how about extending nomination period agreed from current members?15:47
ianychoi(what I meant, current UC members)15:47
spotzianychoi: What we just voted on was accepting our 1 candidate (no vote) and then a special election (new nominatioon period) to get a second memeber15:48
ianychoispotz, aha I thought a special election meant to open a special new election, not extending the nomination period15:49
spotzwell techinically it is a special election15:49
ianychoiNow I agree with that - then will the same election officials follow up such a special election?15:50
spotzif you and edleafe are willing:)15:51
ianychoiMe is sure :)15:52
