Can you please +1/0/-1 the changes to the Strategy Document
relating to the change from Xubuntu Project Lead to Xubuntu
Council [1]
The change removes completely the section relating to Xubuntu
Project Lead and is replaced with the following:
XUBUNTU COUNCIL
The Xubuntu Council (later:
council) is responsible for overseeing the development
direction of Xubuntu and enabling the community to work with Xubuntu as smoothly as
possible. The council serves a term of four releases/two years
at a time, ending with an LTS release to allow long-term
planning.
The xubuntu-council
Launchpad team consists of the council members. The
xubuntu-council team is the administrator for all other
Xubuntu Launchpad teams, giving the council full
administration access for the Xubuntu teams.
Membership
The council consists of 3
members, who are chosen by a CIVS vote. All members in the Xubuntu team and/or direct members of
any moderated
subteams
can be nominated, either by themselves or anybody else in the
Xubuntu community with the nominees consent. The same group of
people is eligible to vote.
If a council member becomes
inactive for 6 months, the member shall be replaced by a new
council member for the remainder of their term, elected by a
new CIVS vote.
The council will decide on a
chair for the whole council term. The chair will act as the
official point of contact for Xubuntu.
Council operation
The council is expected to
take action or respond to any issue raised within 2 weeks. If
appropriate and fair, the first action can be postponement.
If at any time a majority of the Xubuntu
team considers the actions of the council harmful for the
project, the issue at hand should be raised to the council for
reconsideration. If a resolution can't be found, the council
should consult the the Ubuntu Community Council and other
appropriate Ubuntu community teams. Similarly, if the council
can't reach a consensus even after consulting the Xubuntu
team, they should consult the Ubuntu Community Council and
other appropriate Ubuntu community teams.
