TC Chair Election Process
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in `TC charter <https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#tc-chair>`_,
|
|
in case of multiple candidates for TC chair, we need to conduct the election.
|
|
This document defines the process and timeline for the TC Chair election.
|
|
|
|
TC Chair Nomination
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
* TC chair nomination will be open for three business days after the TC
|
|
elections are closed.
|
|
|
|
* Each candidate will propose a gerrit change to add their nomination as
|
|
a text file (with name <email_address>.txt) containing the candidate
|
|
statement to the ``openstack/governance/reference/tc-chair-candidates/<cycle>/``
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
* Current TC chair will merge the nominations by confirming that they are from
|
|
the elected TC members.

|
|
TC Chair Election
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
* In case of single nomination, no election is needed and candidate can propose
|
|
a patch to the member list to add "chair" status next to their name and use
|
|
`election-results` as gerrit topic name.
|
|
|
|
* If there are multiple nominations, select a TC member who is not running for
|
|
the TC chair to establish a CIVS poll to choose the single winner.
|
|
|
|
* All the elected TC members including the TC chair candidates will be the
|
|
electorates for chair election.
|
|
|
|
* Election poll will be open for seven days or until all the TC members have
|
|
voted.
|
|
|
|
* Winner will propose a patch to the member list to add "chair" status next to
|
|
their name and use `election-results` as gerrit topic name.
