2021 Community Working Group Charter Renewal and Team Elections

Matthew Cropp Wed 15 Sep 2021 2:11AMPublicSeen by 84

The Community Working Group Operations Team operates on an annual charter, and we recently realized we've been tardy in renewing it, so this thread is for that process and for operations team elections for this year. The flow will be as follows:

I will launch a vote to renew the charter.
Once the charter is renewed, I'll post a check poll to collect the list of social.coop members who would like to be candidates for seats on the Community Working Group Operations Team.
Once we have our list of candidates, I'll post an anonymous approval vote poll to elect the team members to the five seats.

If you would like to review who is on the team currently, as well as the language of the existing team charter, I just updated the wiki page here.

Now that the chater has been reapproved, the next step is to build the list of social.coop members who are willing to serve on the Community Working Group Operations Team for the coming year. If you're interested in throwing your hat in the ring, please respond 'yes' to this poll, and type a short personal statement into your vote comment.

Once we have a list of willing candidates assembled, I'll follow up with an election poll

Having a dedicated group of members looking at how the social.coop community is functioning is essential work. While I haven't participated in many meetings/events (yet) I do enjoy seeing them, and they are what make being a social.coop member different from other fediverse instances.

Renew the Community Working Group Operations Team Charter for 1 Year

proposal by Matthew Cropp Closed Wed 22 Sep 2021 2:02AM

Please vote on whether to renew the charter of the Community Working Group Operations Team for 1 year from the close of this poll. The existing language of the charter may be viewed on the wiki here.

The only proposed change from the existing version is for team members to be recruited from and elected by the full membership, rather than just the Community Working Group, to ensure we include as many members as possible in the decision.

So, please vote on whether to renew the charter with the above change. If this proposal passes, I will follow up with a poll to recruit candidates for the Operations Team.
