Well, maybe it's just me, but it seems like there is at least an appearance of conflict of interest, as you're on both the TB and DMB? So I guess that yes, I do object to both questions, and I also suggest that someone from the TB who isn't also on the DMB should handle both of these questions - both deciding if it's appropriate to extend the expired DMB member's terms (and performing the action) as well as actually executing the DMB election. I certainly don't feel it is appropriate for a DMB candidate to also be the administrator of the election. I also should point out that if the TB wants to continue to 'own' the DMB membership, the TB might want to add something to its calendar so the next election happens in a timely manner? Or, alternately, the TB might want to simply delegate membership decisions to the DMB itself, and then the DMB might want to have some kind of 'administrator' who would be responsible for (and keep track of) these kind of administrative issues. > > Robie > -- > developer-membership-board mailing list > developer-membership-bo...@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/developer-membership-board -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
