Leadership Group Ambassadors
The Fedora Leadership Group has created a role called “Ambassador” for select group members who are invited by the group to share their wisdom and experience and serve in a non-voting capacity.
The following rules apply to Leadership Group Ambassadors:
- Ambassadors must be nominated by a current member of the Leadership Group
- The nomination must be seconded by another member of the Leadership Group
- Once a candidate has been nominated, Leaders will have two weeks to discuss the nomination and raise any issues
- At the end of the two week discussion period, a private vote will be held
- A simple majority vote will approve the candidate as an Ambassador
- The Steering Group will serve as arbiter in case of a tie vote or other issues that may arise
- Ambassadors will serve a three year term, with the possibility for renewal
- If the need arises, ambassadors can be removed from the Leadership Group via a motion from a member of the Leadership Group followed by a vote
