Martin,
Your understanding is basically correct, although the Bylaws are
even more specific: it is the Executive Director who designates additional AC,
PC and RC members.
The process you describe looks good. A few (hopefully helpful) suggestions:
·
Rather than the EMO asking the candidate if they are willing to
accept the invitation post facto, why doesn’t the nominator check with
them beforehand?
·
Should there be some form of vote on the candidates? E.g. a
minimum of three +1’s and no -1’s? I don’t feel strongly
about this, but it does seem like the proposed approach lacks some “explicitness”
(if that is a word J).

Hi Mike,
my current understanding is, that only the EMO can appoint members,
and the council itself can propose members to the EMO to get
appointed.
Therefore, the way we did this last year (and I think it was a good
way
to do it), was this:
1. Existing EAC members proposed names of new members on the
list, asking the other EAC members whether they
thought it would
be good candidates.
2. Candidate proposals are discussed on the mailing list,
3. If disucssion is positive, candidates are proposed to the EMO
for appointment.
4. The EMO asks candidates whether they would accept their
invitation to the EAC, and if yes, appoints
them.
Does this sound good as a process, or am I missing something?
Or are there ways to simplify the process?
Cheers,

I am curious if “Everyone to propose new members on the
mailing list” really means “appoint them to the architecture
council”?
