Proposals

Proposal 1:

On Fri, Jun 3, 2016 at 2:02 PM, Moritz Lennert wrote:

So, to summarize, my proposal would be:

• Election of the entire PSC every three years
• All people with SVN access have the right to vote
• Elections are announced on grass-dev and grass-user with a clear

definition of procedure:

• Anyone (or anyone with voting right ?) can nominate someone during

a period of a few (4?) weeks

• Possibly: those who are already in the PSC and stand for elections

again do not need a nomination / can nominate themselves ?

• Voting during 1 week
• The ten candidates with the most votes make up the new PSC

Preparation of the list of nominees for the PSC election 2016

Any community member is eligible to propose a new PSC member candidate. A motivation must be added why the proposed candidate may be a good choice for the PSC.

To submit a PSC member nomination:

• Confirm with the nominated person first.
• Send the nomination email to the CRO.
  • The CRO will forward it to the ​PSC mailing list along with a copy to the ​GRASS dev list and the ​GRASS user list - so that the community remains informed.
  • The CRO will update the table of nominations below.

Deadline: ​Thursday, 16 June 2016, 12:00 UTC TBD
