wxlFINALLY23:15
wxlok so what old business do we have to deal with?23:15
tewardTB stuff for one23:15
tewardthats "in the works" - on jose and Mark atm23:16
wxl#subtopic Technical Board elections23:16
josecurrently waiting on Mark to confirm the shortlist23:16
tewardgonna make an observation tho23:16
tewardnot many people felt they were up for the task23:16
wxli didn't look at the list. saw lots of recognizable names coming through. did we get enough folks?23:17
EickmeyerI think we did.23:17
josewe did get just enough23:17
tewardonly after I put sil's name in23:17
EickmeyerYeah. Honestly, I feel pretty good about the list.23:17
tewardwith their permission.  I woild have tossed in my hat but jose told me to stay homr23:17
linaporras:)23:17
tewardhome*23:17
joseI feel very strongly about the list too. Just need to get Mark's confirmation.23:17
EickmeyerI agree, too many hats can be problematic.23:17
wxlsooooo teward: elaborate— do you see some sort of problem that there were so few nominations?23:17
wxli'm not surprised by it23:18
josewe received 4, and looked for some extra people, got that final one23:18
tewardtyping from phone patience pls23:18
tewardone of the major concerns was "oh i am not sure i am qualified" - sil and others had that opinion privately.  Other things is i think people have a misunderstanding of what the TB does or want to see it take a different direction (that was Laney's summarized opinion)23:19
wxli suspect we don't have enough time to run the election to finish by end of year if we don't get the shortlist rather quick23:19
tewardi will put together the concerns and ML them to us all23:20
wxlsil didn't think they were qualified?????23:20
tewardthey were on the fence.  After talkling to sil they reassessed23:20
tewardthey were more unsure than not23:20
tewardsil is one of the most qualified IMO as are the others on the list so far23:20
teward(brb, need an ice pack)23:21
joseconsidering it's a just a confirmation vote, voting would be open for a week, so I think we might be able to make it by EOY23:21
wxlwell i guess that sort of cautious behavior is the sort of thing we'd want in a tb member rather than just rushing things through23:21
tewardyup23:21
linaporras+123:21
wxljose: are you planning on meeting with mark in the near future that you could bug him?23:21
joseright now, we're dependent on Mark's response, and he did want to get it done before the holidays23:21
joseI did reach out to him directly via IM :)23:21
teward#AIM_IS_DEAD jose ;)23:22
joseand I did message on Monday and again today23:22
wxlok well i guess we'll just hope for the best23:22
josenot America On Line's, but other more modern solution23:22
tewardwxl: if push comes to shove i'll extend existing TB through 2 weeks of Jan. until we get the meeting23:22

EickmeyerOof, discourse. :/23:25
wxlyeah well we have good news23:25
linaporras:o :o23:25
EickmeyerOh?23:26
wxlthat being that there are now two new subtopics in the CC category23:26
linaporras🙀23:26
wxlthat being "Documentation" and "Meetings"23:26
wxlso now it should be easier to find things23:26
toddylooks good23:26
EickmeyerSweet.23:26
wxlso generally i think we have everything we were looking for there23:26
wxlthere was one piece of documentation i thought might be better suited in our area23:27
wxloh two actually23:27
wxlhttps://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/governance/33223:27
wxlhttps://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-structure/33123:27
EickmeyerIndeed.23:28
wxlthose are the only two things in the community subcategory of the documentation category23:28
wxlshould i ask someone for permission before moving things?23:28
joseI feel like, after we wind down with restaffing, we're going to be able to put stuff in there23:28
joseI would say ask the owner23:28
joseand if you don't get a response in a couple days, move it23:28
wxlthat would be popey23:28
joseand otherwise we can move it back23:28
wxlokie dokie23:29
josejust as a "politeness" thing23:29
Bashing-omwxl: Be aware that I do follow through on the "Meetings" report and so list in UWN.23:29

wxlBashing-om: okie thx :)23:31
wxlso did everyone review and/or comment on the draft for the LoCo Committee?23:31
joseokay, for this one, I still haven't gotten either an 'ack' from most of you, saying "I've reviewed and left my comments"23:31
wxl(i know i did!)23:31
toddyI also have did it23:32
linaporrasWel... I did... ;)23:32

wxlvotes required 4?23:33
joseLet me get you a link.23:33
joseYes but hold on23:33
linaporrasthere was a point to discuss23:33
toddyI think we have an open question in the draft?23:33
toddyThere was something23:34
joseEickmeyer: sent you a link via DDM23:34
josenot posting it here because it's still a draft and still open23:34
joseyes, there is something, but I want to make sure to give Eickmeyer time to skim it23:34
joselet's give him 3 minutes (180 secs)?23:34
wxl(what's ddm?)23:34
linaporrasagree with jose23:34
joseDM*23:35
wxlahh :)23:35
josedirect, direct message :)23:35
wxlcould you send to me again so i can remind myself23:35
wxl?23:35
joseof course.23:35
EickmeyerYeah, after a cursory glance, LGTM. Only question is if the question is resolved.23:35
josewxl: need some time to skim it?23:36
jose#votesrequired 423:36
meetingologyvotes now need 4 to be passed23:36
josegiving wxl a couple more minutes before I raise my point23:37
joseand then after I explain and we discuss we can put it to a vote23:37
wxlshould we answer the question that remains?23:37
EickmeyerI think we should.23:38
joseokay, then. let me explain the question and my point of view23:38
linaporrasNot be a Community Council member.this is the topic for dicussion23:38
EickmeyerOk. Yeah, being a CC member on this committee might have a perception of a heavy hand.23:38
joseRight now, there are mixed opinions on whether current Community Council members can be part of the LCRC. In my opinion, we are creating this entity to perform independent research.23:39
jose1.- As Eickmeyer mentioned, it can create the perception of a heavy hand23:39
jose2.- We are delegating because we have other stuff to take care of23:39
josenot that we don't care about this, but we do, which is why we should get other people to help us with this23:39
josethey will have much better bandwidth than us, with all our duties23:39
joseand so, perform a much more deep investigation23:40
josewhat do y'all think?23:40
EickmeyerI agree, jose.23:40
toddyIf someone thinks they want to take part, they can do so for all I care. regardless of whether they are a cc member or not.23:40
josetoddy: what do you think of the points I raised above?23:40
josedo you agree? no? why?23:40
toddyI don't think that it is a heavy hand of this person if he in the commitee23:41
linaporrasI don 't see in that way, why our participation could be seen as heavy hand... is just cooperaton.23:41
Eickmeyertoddy: The problem is that if other people (non-CC members) know there's a CC member on the committee, that might make a perception of being watched, or that the CC member is the actual leader of the committee and is steering it.23:41
linaporrasand I agree with toddy23:41
toddywe are all grown up enough23:41
EickmeyerWe are, but other people on the committee might not be able to separate that psychologically.23:41
wxlit's not to say we can't be involved23:42
joseof course23:42
josewe can still be involved23:42
josebut we delegate the heavy work23:42
toddyand point 2. I think if somebody thing it whould be good to help and have the time. it is okay for me23:42
joseif we take on absolutely everything ourselves, we would have a never ending list of things23:42
wxl^ that is something i constantly worry about. i already knowingly allow myself to wear too many hats as it is23:43
linaporrasof course, but we are not saying that we are going to force everyone of us to participate23:43
linaporrasas toddy says if someone has the time, and wants to get involved, just do it23:43
toddyI don't want to be in that committee but if somebody else would I feel okay with that.23:43
joseanyways, those were my arguments, I think that unless anyone else has anything else (different than what's already been presented), we can put this to a vote? anything else?23:43
linaporrasno23:44
joseif I don't hear back in 60s I'll post the vote23:44
wxllet's look at it a different way: there may be some other person who has a particularly unique perspective that if one of us took their spot that they couldn't participate23:44
wxlyeah let's vote23:44
jose#vote Can current Community Council members be part of the LCRC?23:44
meetingologyPlease vote on: Can current Community Council members be part of the LCRC?23:44

meetingology-1 CC members should not sit on the LCRC. received from teward23:46
josenhaines?23:46
EickmeyerRegardless of nhaines's vote, motion cannot pass.23:46
toddythan we have a result.23:46
wxlyep23:46
wxl#endvote23:46
meetingologyVoting ended on: Can current Community Council members be part of the LCRC?23:46
meetingologyVotes for:2 Votes against:4 Abstentions:023:46
meetingologyMotion denied23:46
wxlokie dokie so with that out of the way, we can make the draft official23:47
linaporrasyeah!23:47
EickmeyerYup.23:47
toddy\o/23:47
josethere are still a couple things to iron out23:47
joseespecially the number of members23:47
linaporrasand do u think we should start recruiting for the LCRC now, or at begining of january?23:47
toddyasap23:48
Eickmeyer^23:48
joseIf there is someone you know would be interested, line them up23:48
wxli think ideally it should at least be 6 or more23:48
linaporrasI think from my LoCo could  be one person23:48
linaporrasLirrums23:48
wxlhow about this: it would be nice to have at least one member from every region. THAT is our requirement23:49
wxlif there are more than that, it's ok23:49
joseNominations will be formal and later on23:49
wxlnot to exceed 1223:49
linaporraswel 12 is a big number...23:49
joseSo we good with min 6, max 12?23:49
linaporrasI think 9 is a good big number...23:49
toddyjose: thats fine for me23:50
wxl6-9 then23:50
josemin 6, max 9?23:50
linaporrasmin 5... maz 923:50
wxlbut with the requirement that there is at least one member from each region23:50
linaporras*max23:50
wxlregions being:23:50
wxl 1. n. america23:50
wxl 2. s. america23:50
wxl 3. europe23:50
wxl 4. africa23:50
wxl 5. asia23:51
wxl 6. oceania23:51
wxlthat's why i said minimum 623:51
linaporras2. south an central america maybe?  a23:51
linaporrasand  bye northe will be Canada, Us, and Mexico or ?23:51
wxlyou know i was totally going to say that :)23:51
linaporraswell ok, 6 is ok23:51
linaporraswow, I am writing horrible23:51
linaporrasand  by north america will be Canada, Us, and Mexico or ?23:51
toddyyes 6 is a good for min23:52
wxlall of the above linaporras23:52
joseI would take the Wikipedia definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America23:52
wxlright23:53
wxlcan we say "It is essential for the committee to be composed of people from all regions" and define those 6 regions?23:53
joseAll good with min 6, max 9, essential all regions?23:53
linaporrasok ok North America includes central america...23:54
wxlright23:54
linaporrasok I agree with the Wikipedia definition, I think that we should cite the wikipedia part... for clarification...23:54
josewe can have that internally ourselves23:55
linaporrasI agree23:55
EickmeyerYep.23:55
toddyok23:55
wxlgreat23:55
wxlanything else ?23:55
linaporrasNop from my part123:55
EickmeyerI'm good.23:56
linaporrasI think that we should make this official and start the conformation, but I suggest to start that in the 2nd week of January... take into account, that in some countries this is holiday season23:56
josetarget project completion date?23:56
linaporrasend of January23:56
joseopinions?23:57
joseanyone else?23:57
wxli think it makes sense23:57
toddyok, we can do it like this23:57
wxlchinese new year thankfully begins in february this year23:57
joseso, accounting for a 2-week nomination period, 1-week voting period, finish it on Jan 31st at most, and then instate it on Feb 1st?23:58
wxlyep23:58
wxli presume we are announcing this as we would board nominations?23:58
joseand expiring Jul 31st?23:58
joseyeah23:58
joseactually23:58
josethe proposal draft should go into our documentation23:58
joseand then we should make a formal call for nominations linking to that23:58
linaporrascoool.. well se what happens with the job... if they found that maybe need more time we can reealuate, but so far is  ok23:58
josethat way it's not lost in the call for nominations post23:58
joseyes, these are all estimated timelines23:59
linaporras:)23:59
josetoddy: are you still good to own this action item?23:59
toddyI own that?23:59
wxlyes that's right (on expiration)23:59
joseyeah, you owned the LoCo Council renewal23:59
