<p>These bylaws were approved by a vote of active committers on
|
|
August 28, 2000.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Active committers have made a commit to the tree in the last 12
|
|
months.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Core consists of 9 elected active committers.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Core elections are held every 2 years, first time September 2000.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Core members and committers may be ejected by a 2/3 vote of core.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If the size of core falls below 7, an early election is held.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A petition of 1/3 of active committers can trigger an early
|
|
election.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>All elections will be run as follows:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Core appoints and announces someone to run the election.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>1 week to tally active committers wishing to run for core.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>4 weeks for the actual vote</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>1 week to tally and post the results.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Each active committer may vote once in support of up to nine
|
|
nominees.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>New core team becomes effective 1 week after the results are
|
|
posted.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Voting ties decided by unambiguously elected new core
|
|
members.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>These rules can be changed by a 2/3 majority of committers if at
|
|
least 50% of active committers cast their vote.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Additional Information</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The last core election was held in June of 2004. The next core
|
|
election is scheduled for June of 2006.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Core Interpretations of the Bylaws</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Core will issue interpretations of the bylaws from time to time
|
|
as necessary to clarify areas that might be ambiguous in the
|
|
bylaws as enacted to ensure the smooth operation of the project.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>20020503</b> The next election is always scheduled for two
|
|
years after the previous election. This means that early elections
|
|
reset the date of the succeeding election such that it will
|
|
occur two years following the early election.</li>
