Once an election has been announced, each Fedora Member that suppo= rts Fedora the Copper, Bronze, Silver or Gold level may nominate an individ= ual from their institution who they believe would be a good representative = of the community. The number of seats available are determined by the numbe= r of member institutions at each level:
Governance Group Members serve 2-year terms once elected. <= a href=3D"https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/FF/Current+Governance+Terms" rel= =3D"nofollow">See current members and their status.<= /span>
At the end of the nomination process, nominated individuals will b= e asked for a brief personal statement to share with the Governance Group. = Voting for available seats takes place within each membership category. Eac= h member organization=E2=80=99s representative casts a vote for candidates = at their specific Fedora membership support level (Copper, Bronze, Silver, = or Gold) based on the direction of their management. In the event of a tie,= the Governance Chair in consultation with the Program Manager will decide = on the outcome to resolve the tie.
In order to facilitate transparent communication between Fedora Go= vernance and the Technical Team, members of the Fedora= Committers group may nominate (or self-nominate) a Fedora= committer to serve as a representative on the Fedora Leadership Group on a= n annual basis. If more than one committer is nominated, an election will b= e held and each Fedora Governance Group member will have an opportunity to = vote for the candidate of their choosing. In the event of a tie, the Govern= ance Chair in consultation with the Technical Lead will decide on the outco= me to resolve the tie.
If you have any questions about Fedora project governance or the n= omination and election process please contact Arran Griffith .
If an elected Governance Group member changes institutions during = their two year term, the institution has the option to appoint a replacemen= t for the remainder of the term. The only exception would be at-large commu= nity members, who are not elected based on institutional membership. = For these positions, no action will occur since the person could retain the= ir seat.
If an elected Governance Group member=E2=80=99s institution change= s their membership level during the two year term, the elected member will = retain their seat until the end of their term.
