How to propose governance changes
=================================
Motions need to be presented before Friday 0800 UTC to be added to the next
Tuesday meeting agenda for discussion. They should either be posted as a
proposed change to the governance repository (on review.openstack.org) or as
a "[tc]" thread to openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org (with a pointer to that
thread being posted to openstack-tc@lists.openstack.org to make sure it gets
the required attention from TC members). Upon verification, the chair will
put the motion on the `agenda for the next meeting`_.
There might be a backlog of requests, in which case the discussion will be
scheduled for a subsequent meeting. We use Gerrit to record votes, so before
being formally voted on or approved, motions will have to be presented as a
change in the governance git repository. You can find instructions on how to
do that in the `Developer's guide section of the Infra manual`_. Please
contact the TC chair in case you need help. Note that a number of simpler
changes do not require formal voting by the majority of the Technical
Committee membership. Those exceptions are listed in the
:doc:`reference/house-rules` document.
See the TechnicalCommittee_ page in the wiki for details on how to propose
governance changes.
