Our (draft) constitution calls for a 5 day discussion period, followed by a 5 day voting period.
[CSH] 7 days actually, unless specified otherwise.
Damn, I should have checked instead of relying on my memory. Thanks for the correction, we now have 6 days to go in the discussion period which will be followed by a 7 day voting period.
[CSH] Both A and B would violate the constitution if we agree to it. It says a vote can override any decision or action made by any project member.
This paragraph violates it: "The TC has final say over the priority of a bug. By his election, the developers and board members have agreed to trust in his judgement related to bug priorities, and must not hinder any legitimate efforts that the TC is attempting in order to prioritize bugs. "
I believe the whole paragraph is void. The TC (and any other project member) can do almost anything (including changing priority of a bug and attempting to block a release). All the draft constitution asks for, is that every registered project member is given an opportunity to object (and call for a vote on the subject if needed).
Royce also pointed out that that paragraph is not very clear. We should probably drop it in proposal B. I don't feel very comfortable making changes to proposal A, I didn't write and don't feel responsible for it. I hope someone else will pick up this issue with respect to A.
