CHARTER: No Confidence Motions?

Open cyphar opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Right now if the TDC Maintainers feel that the TOB is not fulfilling their duty correctly, they have no recourse other than to go to the Linux Foundation (and I'm not sure how that process would even work). Should we have a "no confidence motion" concept in the Charter (such as a qualified super-majority of TDC Maintainers can trigger the TOB be dissolved and a special election for all seats)? Then again, we've never had any tensions between the TOB and TDC Maintainers so maybe this is purely a theoretical thing which isn't worth extra text in the Charter? But then again, if we ever need it then it'd be too late to ask the TOB to add it.

I am writing this as a separate issue, because it won't be included in my first round of charter refactoring but it is something that I wanted to open a discussion about.
