[UbuntuWomen] Ubuntu Women Project Leadership Elections.

[Amber Graner]

Hi all,

One of the other areas that was on that LONG email [1] to the UW mailing was
the *Ubuntu Women Project Leadership Elections.*  I created a wiki [2] for
the *Proposed UW Project Leader(s) Election Process*.  I have included the
contents of the wiki below as well.  Please take a look and offer feedback
on:

*1)* Single leader or Multiple leader approach?

*2)* Does time line below makes sense to everyone?

*3)* What if any are the other responsibilities that need to be added to the
list?

*4)* Other Areas of Process/Timeline/Responsibilities that need to be
adjusted?

PROPOSED UW PROJECT LEADER(S) ELECTION PROCESS

Ubuntu Women Project Team Leadership Options

Below are the options for the team to consider - based on discussions in
December and January: (however if neither of these options are what you
would prefer please add your suggestion to the email or forum thread for
further discussion)

   -

   * *Option 1* - *Single Leader* - Review of the CC appointed leader and a
   formal vote to keep that leader in place or nominate and to choose another
   single leader
   -

   * *Option 2* - *Multiple co-leaders* - 3 leaders who together have
   diverse strengths and span many areas of the community.

UW Project Team Election of Leader(s)

   -

   * Voting Members of the Team will vote on leader (s) in
   another Condorcet poll.
   -

   * You must be listed on the Ubuntu Women LP Team for 1 month prior to
   election date in order to be eligible to vote.
   -

   * Ubuntu-Women Project Team on LP
   -

      * It is important that all Ubuntu Women Project Team members who are
      active in the following areas but have not joined the
Ubuntu-Women Team in
      Launchpad are encouraged to do so:
      -

      * Ubuntu Women Mailing List
      -

      * Ubuntu Women Forums
      -

      * #ubuntu-women and #ubuntu-women-project IRC channels.
      -

   * *May 15th* - The List of the eligible Ubuntu Women Project Team members
   will be put together using the LP list. I have been updating the list from
   the channel poll - so this will not be a hard or time consuming task. It
   will just need to be double checked.
   -

   * *May 15* - After the nominations are closed and the testimonial Phase
   begins 2 people who are NOT seeking the leadership position (s) will need to
   be responsible for the Condorcet poll. Don't worry if you are unfamiliar
   with Condorcet it's easy and we can set up some "mock" polls to make you are
   comfortable and familiar with how it works before the leadership poll is
   schedule to open.
