From 7ff794d3d654b35e4a522a3cd62465ea2bf5c8f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thierry Carrez Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 17:34:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Include instructions on how to propose changes The instructions on how to propose governance changes in OpenStack are currently located on the TC meeting agenda wiki page, which makes it hard to discover when you browse the governance website. Place it right and center on governance.o.o so that it's clear how to make changes to it.

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.
