15 min
  • Election for the 2022 TSC Membership and Co-chairs + SPC Rep
    •  First step is to determine active community members from <date> to <date>, using the criteria we agree-on.
    • 2022 TSC Member, Co-Chair, and SPC Representative Elections
    • Current  Anuket Project Operations and Guidelines document for commenting  don't cover the TSC Election. The Charter does, but two points are mutually exclusive:
      • •Any active community member is eligible to be a candidate for a TSC seat.
        •Only active community members are eligible to vote in a TSC membership election.
        Only one (1) active community member from any organisation can vote in any election. Where a company/organisation has multiple active members, then these members shall meet and decide who amongst them shall be eligible to vote and communicate the decision to the person in charge of conducting the election
        •Eligibility is effective as of the date and time the nomination process starts.
      • TSC Member election mechanics
        •The nominations period shall be open for two (2) weeks*
        •The TSC member elections shall be conducted electronically by LFN staff among the Active Community Members
        At least two-thirds of the Active Community Members are required to have voted for a valid election
        •The elections are held by using electronic voting tool based on the Condorcet method

      • TSC Composition
        The Anuket TSC shall consist of fifteen (15) members of which at least seven (7) will represent Telco Operators.
        • Any changes to the membership shall maintain the 7 to 15 ratio of the minimum number of Telco Operator members to the total number of TSC members.
        Only one (1) member per company/organisation
        o If more than two (2) TSC members would be from the same group of Related Companies, either at the time of election or from a later job change or changes to company ownership, they will jointly decide on the one (1) individual to be the member


  • Sandra will update the list of active community members (current query will need to be updated to also include gitlab).
  • Heather suggests to use the calendar year for the TSC term: This is already reflected by past agreements, i.e., the charter: https://anuket.io/wp-content/uploads/sites/119/2021/07/Anuket-Charter_073021.pdf
  • Draft schedule: 2022 TSC Member, Co-Chair, and SPC Representative Elections
    • Nomination period is 2 weeks as defined in the charter.
  • Current charter mentions "Only one (1) active community member from any organisation can vote in any election." Several TSC members voiced concerns.
    Suggestion is to remove the sentence from the charter to ensure proper representation of the contributors.
    • VOTE: "Does the TSC agree to remove the bullet point beginning: 'Only one (1) active community member from any organisation can vote in any election.' from the charter?".
    • Vote results: 11 x agree, 0 x abstain, 0 x disagree
    • Gergely will facilitate the charter change. He'll work with the community coordination committee (Scott & Beth).
