Update: Amendments to Open Community Governance Policy - Patron and Removal of officers and members
Kim Tucker
Many thanks to those who have approved the charter and contributed to
the discussions.
With respect to amending the document
http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Amendments_to_Open_Community_Governance_Policy/2nd_Draft_Policy
we prioritised the issues of whether or not WikiEducator should have a
Patron, and processes for removal of members/officers of the
WikiEducator Community council.
A brief summary follows. Further comments are welcome (links below).
==WikiEducator Patron==
The discussion is moving in the direction of WikiEducator '''not'''
having a Patron and removing the section entirely.
In essence, the role of Patron may be fulfilled by an individual or
collection of individuals, by some other name. Their existence, status
and role need not be part of this policy.
Do you agree? (comment on Issue Tracker - link below)
==Officers and Members of the WikiEducator Council==
It was suggested that the same procedure be applied to both members and
officers.
===Removal===
The idea of removal by majority vote was rejected and the task is to
describe circumstances which would constitute a proposal for removal and
define the process.
If you have any knowledge and experience of this, please see the Removal
sections on the issues tracker and advise:
