Include(MOTU/Headers/Menu)

The MOTU Council is the central place for approving new MOTU members and helping to find consensus and have a final say in conflicts. It reports to the CommunityCouncil (see ["CommunityCouncil/Delegation"]) and the TechnicalBoard.

Its current members: https://launchpad.net/~motu-council BR The mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/motu-council

From ["MotuProcessesSpec"]: A term length of 2 years was decided and two of the nominees start off with one year term, namely crimsun and gpocentek. This was decided, so that an initial rolling is introduced into the process. (Their membership can be renewed.)

Responsibilities

  • It will approve or defer MOTU candidates
  • Its actions and processes will be
    • open
    • transparent
    • responsive to MOTUs
  • It will supervise policy decisions done by the MOTU team and can thus
    • intervene only if really needed
  • It can make own policy decisions if otherwise no progress would be made at all
  • It will help resolving disputes among MOTU developers.
  • It will make efforts to keep the atmosphere calm and productive.
  • It will be a point of contact for developers & reponsible to the TechnicalBoard

Decision making

The MOTU Council will have a quorum of three. Decisions are made with a simple majority. As soon as a Council member calls for a vote (on the MC mailing list), the council members have 48 hours to cast their votes. In case three affirmative votes have been cast before 48 hours have elapsed, the decision is valid immediately. Otherwise a simple majority of the votes will result in the decision.

Discussions

Discussions about policy changes will take place on the ubuntu-motu mailing list. On the motu-council list, only organisational discussions and member applications will take place.

Meetings

We rolled the MOTU Council meetings into MOTU meetings, so please look at ["MOTU/Meetings"] for more information.

MOTU membership approval and evaluation of ~ubuntu-core-dev applicants

The processes are both outlined at ["UbuntuDevelopers"]:
