| RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] RE: Nominating Kim Moir | 
Distinguished Council,
 
the "process for nominating new members" is not new. Please 
read
 
 
It clearly has step 1
"Nominations are discussed in a phone meeting"
 
for exactly the reasons that Boris cited (Big thanks Boris 
for bringing this up just in time!). We had set up this process shortly after I 
became chair of the AC, and I believe that it is still good (although I'm 
happy to discuss it again). I also agree with Dave C that the process should be 
a guideline which we don't need to follow 
religiously.
 
I'll gladly take suggestions 
for how to make our existing processes more known and obvious on the web pages 
(gee, I had to search them myself for a while, although I had written them some 
time back).
 
Regarding the current 
discussion,
Big +1 for Kim on the AC 
after reading Boris' and others' responses
Big +1 and thanks for Boris' 
comments
 
I'd also like to not that 
the questions I posted were never meant to question Kim's abilities, but they 
were meant to question the motives or rationale cited in the nomination. I still 
believe that being an AC member is a very highly visible sign of being an 
Eclipse Leader. And we can have working groups for tasks sponsored by the AC, 
even if not only AC members are in those groups.
 
Thanks
Martin
 
Already +1'ed Kim. Just want to +1 the process change too. It's 
always important to allow frank discussion and that's best done in a meeting 
where we can chose what to record. :).
:D

Agreed. 
   I think it would work well to have a process suggestion of raising 
  nominations on a call before putting forward the email vote.
