Emmet Hikory 03958456ac Amend leaderless program resolution timeframe
The current language puts undue pressure on election officials to
immediately notify the TC in the event of a leaderless project, while
also not providing a maximum timeframe for notification, which may leave
a project leaderless for some time in exceptional circumstances.

The replacement language places a clear bound on the notification period,
allowing election officials to take care with their reporting, and the
technical committee to have information in a timeframe that allows a new
PTL to be selected to start with their peers.

2014-11-28 Process for Leaderless Programs

Should the nomination period for Program Technical Lead close and any program subject to the decisions of the Technical Committee not have a minimum of one eligible candidate identify themselves, the following process will be used to determine leadership for any program in this situation.

  1. Programs without a minimum of one eligible candidate are identified to the Technical Committee by the Election Officials, before the conclusion of the election.
  2. The Technical Committee can appoint a leader to any programs in this situation, by mutual agreement of the Technical Committee and the proposed appointee.
  3. The appointed leader has all the same obligations and responsibilities as a self-nominated elected Program Technical Lead.
