Election: CPC At Large Voting Members

[bensternthal]

As per the CPC charter, the non-impact projects elect 2 voting CPC members:

up to two (2) Voting members may be nominated by the non-impact projects based on a process set by the CPC.

These members will be elected for a term of 1 year.

Nomination Process

Any member from one of the non-impact projects can self-nominate emailing the chair of the CPC with their interest in running for the CPC.

The nomination period will be open for 2 weeks at which point the CPC chair will list the nominees in the issue.

Each of the candidates listed will be asked to open an issue in the CPC repo which includes the following:

• Projects they are part of
• Description of their background
• The reasons they would like to act as a non-impact CPC voting member
• Confirmation that they can devote the required time/effort.
• Their employer (if applicable). This is needed due to the limitations on maximum employer representation in the CPC voting members.
• The projects will be asked to confirm membership as identified by the nominees.

Each non-impact project will nominate two voters through a process of their choosing.

Each voter will be able to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish.

Voting will start a week after the nomination period ends, and be open for two weeks.

Those candidates who receive the greatest number of votes will be confirmed as the winners. In the case of a tie between 2 or more candidates, the winner will be chosen randomly unless:

There are only 2 candidates tied for the largest number of votes, in which case those 2 candidates will be the winners, or
all but one of the candidates that are tied for the number of votes choose to conceed.

For more information please see Election process for non-impact Voting CPC members.
