Everyone should respect the election process, as set +out in the `Community Code of Conduct`_. + +We trust the instincts, good faith, maturity, and sound judgement of +our community members. Talking about governance issues in person at +official StarlingX events or privately with co-workers or friends is +expected. However, we are a diverse, world-wide community, and we +encourage everyone to discuss community issues publicly using +inclusive forums where we can all learn from and contribute to the +conversation. Using the `discuss mailing list`_ for those +discussions ensures that everyone has an opportunity to participate, +unlike exclusionary forums such as private mailings and in-person +events that overlook community members who cannot travel to the event, +even if no invitation is required to gain entrance. + +Administering Elections +======================= + +Prior to each election, the TSC names community members to administer +the election. As described in the `Technical Steering Committee Charter`_, +these election officials identify the appropriate electorate, verify +all candidates' qualifications, configure the voting software, and +ensure that votes are collected and counted properly. + +Although we hope that everyone will follow our community ideals, we +recognize that, whether through mistakes or bad intent, that will not +always be the case. In addition to the logistical operation of the +election, the election officials are also responsible for receiving +reports of potential abuse. + +During the election, the officials report to the active members of the +TSC (defined as those members whose terms have not expired and have not +stepped down for other reasons). Of course, any active TSC member +involved in the election (such as for a PL/TL position) would not be +involved in resolving any issues. This ensures that TSC members +running in the election do not have undue influence over its outcome, +while also maintaining oversight by the elected representatives still +serving on the TSC. + +Reporting Problems +================== + +If you observe a problem with the election or campaigning activities, +you should bring the details to the election officials privately for +an impartial review. + +The officials will report privately to the active TSC members, who will +work with the election officials to talk to all of the parties +affected and determine how to resolve the situation. The resolution +may include private apologies and reprimands, or, in extreme cases, +voiding and re-running the election. + +After the matter is resolved, the active TSC members and election +officials will prepare and publish an official summary of the +incident. In most cases, the names of people and companies involved +will be redacted because the goal of the incident report is to +emphasize our community culture and values through education, rather +than to publicly punish the parties involved. + +In an especially extreme case, the active TSC members may decide to +refer the issue to the OpenStack Foundation Executive Director and +Secretary for further action related to the Code of Conduct or other +Foundation rules. Community members always retain the right to report +issues to the Foundation staff directly, following the processes +described in the Code of Conduct. + +.. _Technical Steering Committee Charter: https://docs.starlingx.io/governance/reference/tsc/stx_charter.html +.. _Community Code of Conduct: http://www.openstack.org/legal/community-code-of-conduct +.. _discuss mailing list: http://lists.starlingx.io/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/starlingx-discuss diff --git a/resolutions/index.rst b/resolutions/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4ca7b0d --- /dev/null +++ b/resolutions/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +.. _resolutions: + +============= + Resolutions +============= + +When a motion does not result in a change in a reference doc, it can +be expressed as a resolution. + +2019 +==== + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + :glob: + :reversed: + + 2019*
