Xubuntu Governance

• The governancy part of the current Strategy Document can be found at Xubuntu/StrategyDocument#Xubuntu Governance & Team Structure

• The Xubuntu project will advance towards a Council-based governance approach.

The Xubuntu Council

• The Council size should be 5 members, with one of them being the PL.
• PL will have a vote in every voting in the Council, not just as a tie-breaker.
• The 4 members in the Council in addition to the PL should be selected by the existing Xubuntu Contributors.
• The appropriate Team Lead can be the tiebreaker in a vote, but only if PL is absent.
• The council should *aim* to have balanced membership across the different aspects/teams of Xubuntu.
• The council should be named/selected after every LTS release. Thus, every season lasts for 2 years.
