Membership Elections

The technical steering team members will be elected on a yearly basis. Elections are held in the first quarter of each calendar year. At the time of election the following occurs:

  • The lead is (re) appointed by the board of Open Networking Laboratory.
  • The lead decides the appropriate size of the technical steering team. The ON.Lab board of directors has veto power on the choice of size.
  • Technical members are nominated by anyone, including themselves. They must already be active committers/maintainersvoting members.
  • The technical community of committers and maintainers voting members votes to elect steering team members. Each voter has one vote for each position (if steering team is 3 members, then each voter has 3 votes). A voter may only cast 1 vote per candidate.
  • Ties are broken by the technical steering team leader.
