The TSC is free to elect anyone at any time. We need to figure out what the term limits are and how to proceed with the next election if necessary.\r\n\r\nMy recommendation would be to have a new election each year for a variety of reasons:\r\n\r\n* Gives us the opportunity to share the work load across the project and bring up more project leaders.\r\n* Gives the opportunity for the reps to avoid burnout.\r\n* Sends the right signals to the community that the Board Director is not a defacto-BDFL.\r\n* Educates more members of the TSC with the inner workings of the board.\r\n\r\nThat said, the role has a lot of responsibilities, of which I'm sure Rod will elaborate on but just off the top of my head:\r\n\r\n* Deliver monthly updates to the board on the project as a whole.\r\n* Deliver monthly updates to the TSC on what the board is doing.\r\n* Bi-weekly meetings with a member of the foundation staff (me!) and the Board Chairperson.\r\n* Optional participation in board sub-committees (legal, audit & finance, marketing).\r\n\r\nSo, that leaves the TSC with a slightly open question about how long you want the terms to be and how you want to conduct the next election. I know that a few people are also on the short list for TSC membership, it would probably be good to start the nominations and elections after they've been on-boarded."}}
