Hola a todos!
As described in the Statues of IdentityPython [1], roughly half the seats for the idpy
Board are opening for nominations. The following members have completed their one-year
terms:
Ivan Kanakarakis (current chair)
Mike Jones
Chris Whalen
Roland Hedberg (at-large)
They are all eligible to be nominated again for a new board term.
The term for these seats is now shifting to a two-year cycle, such that half the board
will be up for nomination each year.
Participants on the idpy-dev list act as the nominating committee for the idpy board. If
you would like to nominate someone (or self-nominate) please contact me directly no later
than 24 January 2020.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Heather Flanagan
[1] Excerpt from the Statutes of IdentityPython
(https://dracc.commonsconservancy.org/0024/

Board of Directors
The central decision-making body within IdentityPython is the IdentityPython Board of
Directors (in short: the IdentityPython Board). The IdentityPython Board is a committee
responsible for making and coordinating decisions on behalf of the user and developer
community around IdentityPython, according to the conditions set forth in these Statutes
as well as any Regulations established by prior decisions of the IdentityPython Board. The
IdentityPython Board is expected to consult and find consensus for decisions with the user
and developer community.
The IdentityPython Board has a minimum of three, and a maximum of seven natural persons.
The founding IdentityPython Board has appointed a number of its constituting Directors to
serve a half (12 month) term, and the remainder to serve a regular (24 month) term.
Subsequent Directors are elected by the IdentityPython Board to regular 24-month terms
according to the procedure set out in these Statutes. The founding Board will select a
nominating committee of active developers and other contributors to identify candidates
for ongoing Board membership. Directors are permitted to seek office for multiple terms,
however, when running against other candidates the amount of terms they have consecutively
served is deducted from the votes cast in their favour. This provides a balance between
continuity, equal opportunities and renewal of qualities and competences.
The IdentityPython Board determines the Programme's structure and processes, and is
responsible for maintaining its Statutes and Regulations. The IdentityPython Board is free
to make or revise any decision, taking into consideration applicable law as well as any
immutable conditions previously established within the Statutes or Regulations.
In order to efficiently fulfill its tasks, the Board may establish specialized committees
and task forces, as well as assign named roles to qualified individuals to provide advice
and assistance on specific issues. The associated qualifications, tasks and
responsibilities SHALL be formalised by publication as part of the Regulations of
IdentityPython.
The IdentityPython Board (and any person, group or organisation mandated by the
IdentityPython Board on its behalf) must act in good faith and in the common interest of
the developer community and the wider user community of IdentityPython. If significant
harm to the organization has been committed by any Director, he or she MAY be removed from
the Board by a simple majority vote of the rest of the Board.
The IdentityPython Board SHALL convene offline or online at least every twelve (12)
months.
