Council
The MOTU Council is the central place for approving new MOTU members and helping to find consensus and have a final say in conflicts.
Its current members: https://launchpad.net/~motu-council BR The mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/motu-council
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.

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
The process is outlined at ["UbuntuDevelopers"].
