I'm not sure how to solve this problem, but I think you need something to indicate the voter approval policy besides "the TAB will decide it, and can change it when they like". I suppose the pool of voters has been decided historically by the Kernel Summit invitation committee. Some randomness was introduced by allowing voting by attendees from whatever event the Linux Foundation co-located with the Kernel Summit. I think in practical terms, this means that recently the voting pool was self-selected (somewhat), but was skewed towards people who could travel, or had employer support. But in any event, the selection of the voting pool was done by people outside the TAB (or at least not necessarily inside the TAB), and without any eye towards skewing the election results. That is, I don't think the kernel summit invitation committee, or the LF event staff, ever considered TAB voting in their KS attendee selection or event pairing choices. I don't think that the current TAB would do anything wacky here. And I suspect it's probably not a huge concern even for future TABs whose constitution we don't know yet. I do think, however, it would be better to have a written policy for the voting eligibility, that the TAB members can't change on a whim. -- Tim > > > For those who like diff form, this looks like > > > > diff --git a/charter b/charter > > index 45816d7..70b2e56 100644 > > --- a/charter > > +++ b/charter > > @@ -4,7 +4,8 @@ > > - Promote and Support the programmes with which the TAB is charged > > to the wider Linux and Open Source Communities. > > - Meetings and Membership. > > - The TAB consists of ten voting members. > > - - All members shall be elected by a vote amongst all invitees of > > the Linux Kernel Summit. > > + - All members shall be elected by a vote amongst all attendees of > > the Linux Kernel Summit. > > + - The TAB, at its discretion, may set criteria to allow for > > absentee voting for those who are unable to attend the Linux Kernel Summit. > > - Self nominations for the election shall be accepted from any > > person, via email to the TAB mailing list, up until the time of the > > election. > > - Membership of the TAB shall be for a term of 2 years with > > staggered 1-year elections. > > - The TAB shall elect a Chair and Vice-Chair of the TAB from > > amongst their members to serve a renewable 1 year term. > > > > > > This change is intended to be a follow on to last year's changes to vote > > electronically instead of using paper ballots > > (see > > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.linuxfoundation.org_pipermail_ksummit-2Ddiscuss_2019- > 2DJuly_006582.html&d=DwICAg&c=fP4tf--1dS0biCFlB0saz0I0kjO5v7-GLPtvShAo4cc&r=rUvFawR4KzgZu1gSN5tuozUn7iTTP0Y- > INWqfY8MsF0&m=rEcpcrRVZ-R-msxXCoATt2eqeJ0slEmwjZvSIsW2FnA&s=Kdo5ehAJ9pXNz1IVeBciY9CqASsXZ_Ai8NLdSajpDcA&e= ) > > We will be announcing criteria for absentee voting at a later date. > > > > If you have any questions, feel free to speak up here or privately at > > tab@lists.linuxfoundation.org. > > -- > Regards, > > Laurent Pinchart > _______________________________________________ > Ksummit-discuss mailing list > Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.linuxfoundation.org_mailman_listinfo_ksummit- > 2Ddiscuss&d=DwICAg&c=fP4tf--1dS0biCFlB0saz0I0kjO5v7-GLPtvShAo4cc&r=rUvFawR4KzgZu1gSN5tuozUn7iTTP0Y- > INWqfY8MsF0&m=rEcpcrRVZ-R-msxXCoATt2eqeJ0slEmwjZvSIsW2FnA&s=ITok8MjtzP2G4P-KjwsfV4Ohz0qxG-mPu4S8eVf15sA&e= _______________________________________________ Ksummit-discuss mailing list Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss
