Hi, > OK, but how does the PMC "oust" the current chair? The PMC would only have to oust the chair in extreme circumstances. I don't think the PMC actually can remove the chair as the chair is appointed by the board. In practise I would assume that the process would be that a PMC member (or more) would need to contact the board and ask for the chair to be replaced along with a very good reason.

Consensus is not required to start a vote but having an open discussion is certainly more beneficial and makes the vote more likely to succeed. > I don't think a single PMC member should be able to start a vote either Why not and what's the alternative? > We don't say what kind of vote is going to be used to select a new chair > either. The guidelines state it is Consensus Approval (ie 3+1 and no -1s) but that assumes only one candidate. Most other projects I've seen use single transferable vote voting ie number the candidates in the order you want. Thanks, Justin
