LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative - "All committers eligible - Cycle every year"


Role:

  • The role of the LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR) is to represent the committers and contributors to LFN projects at the LFN Governing board.  The expectation of the LGBMCR is to attend all LFN Governing board meetings (and any appropriate ancillary meetings), gather input from the committer community for issues raised at the board level, and to communicate to the committer community key activities from board.
  • LGBMCR is elected for the 1 year. Re Re-election is not possible. There are no term limits.

Eligible candidates:

  • Candidate Candidates must be an active committer committers to at least one LFN TAC project. A person is classified as “active committer” if the person has done at least 10 git commits during the last year to a particular TAC project. 
  • Candidates can self-nominate, or be nominated by other community members. In the latter case, candidates must accept the nomination before the election is conducted.
  • Options for discussion by the TAC:Either: Candidate Candidates must be an active contributor to at least 2 LFN projects. A person is considered an “active contributor” to committer to a LFN project , if the person is eligible to vote as part of the TSC election process in that project.
    Note: The rationale for requiring the candidate to be active in at least 2 LFN projects is to ensure some level of balancing among projects - so that no single large project (with lots of eligible voters) could easily dominate the process.Or: Candidate must be an active contributor an LFN project. which differs from the LFN project that the currently servicing LGBMCR is an active committer of.

Eligible voters:

  • Any person who is an “active contributor” to any LFN project (i.e. LFN TAC-projects as well as any other LFN projects) is eligible to vote for the election. A person is considered an “active contributor” to a LFN project, if the person is eligible to vote as part of the TSC election process in that project.
