- Tim G.
-
Plan for Brian/Fernando to prepare a first draft for public comment by mid-December, with help from others as available.
-
Organize initial writing around the stated questions – this helps parallelize as well as covering all the ground of what has been raised already.
-
How to surface intermediate thinking process to better engage the community?
-
Post the current 16 driving questions on the governance repo or Discourse?
-
Post each of them separately and at different times, so there’s better focus and flow on bite-sized items.
-
Note that they’ve already been posted as a whole: What questions does a new governance model have to answer?. That’s a pretty overwhelming post.
-
-
One issue with Google Docs is that it makes it hard to explore forking options, it strongly drives towards consensus based on small changes that need to converge into a single version. Post instead drafts on Github repo?
-
-
What needs to get done before we start to draft answers to the governance questions?
-
Completing and digesting the expert interviews [Tim]
-
Completing and digesting the MVV work [Brian]
-
Studying other governance models
-
-
Put the governance proposal through the JEP process in a formal manner?
- It puts a timebox on the process and structures the community feedback.
-
