"Community Elections Task Force" request for volunteers

The Drupal Association board passed a motion on December for a task force to be formed to revisit the election process for the at large directors with the goal of producing a recommendation for the board to review.

At this point in time we're seeking for volunteers to self nominate as part of this task force. Please do comment on this issue if you would be interested in such a task. We're looking for a diverse group that can listen to everyone in the community and come up with a well prepared outcome.

This is the full charter as approved by the board:

Authority

The Community Elections Task Force is an advisory committee reporting to the Drupal Association Community committee.

Responsibilities

• Open discussions with the community at-large, using the means available such as social networks, groups.drupal.org, Drupal community channels, Drupal events and user groups, etc.
• Consult with other open source projects that have similar needs in terms of elected members of the community in their associations/foundations.
• Report periodically to the Community Committee with the progress.

End goal of the working group

Produce a recommendation that will be reviewed by the Drupal Association Board in a timely manner to apply for 2022 elections.

Composition

The Committee shall be composed of at least three, but not more than six members with voting rights.

These members are self nominating and designated by the Community committee. The Community Elections Task Force shall consult with Drupal community members at their discretion and criteria regarding diversity will be applied.

Meetings

The committee meets virtually with the frequency needed to accomplish its task.
