GNOME Foundation Reducing Board Size Referendum
+
+
+ Any member of the GNOME Foundation can suggest a referendum. To be
+ accepted, a request for a referendum must be endorsed by 10% of the
+ Membership. The overall referendum process is overseen by the
+ Membership and Elections Committee, which can be reached at elections@gnome.org.
+
+
+
+ In September 2005, some Foundation members discussed a possible reduction
+ of size of the GNOME Foundation board of directors. The discussion took
+ place on foundation-list@gnome.org.
+ After much discussion, a petition was made to request a referendum. More
+ than 10% of the Membership signed the petition.
+
+ Members of the GNOME Foundation as of October 21, 2005 are eligible to
+ vote in the referendum. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can
+ apply for membership by completing the application.
+
+ Instructions explaining how to vote will be sent via e-mail to all
+ eligible voters on October 24, 2005, and votes must be returned by
+ November 4, 2005, 23:59 UTC (18:59 EST).
+
+
+ Votes will be held confidential during the referendum, but an
+ anonymized archive of all submitted votes will be made publicly
+ accessible at its conclusion.
+
+
+ The Elections Committee is responsible for counting the votes.
+
+
+ In the event of a tie, the Elections Committee will schedule a run-off
+ referendum as soon as possible.
+
+
+ The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as
+ possible after the referendum closes, along with instructions on how to
+ access the votes archive and how to independently verify the vote
+ count.
+
+
+ Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
+ elections@gnome.org
+ prior to November 11, 2005. The decision of the Elections Committee as
+ to any challenge shall be final. Once any challenges have been
+ resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce the final results.
+
+
+ Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
+ Elections Committee by e-mail to elections@gnome.org.
+ The committee shall have the power to make any necessary changes or
+ clarifications to these rules at any point during the referendum.
