Notes

Terms of Reference

  • LSAP (Licensed Software Acceptance Procedure) process:
    • Rosie suggests to review process, in light of changed structure of software stack
    • Possibly ask TAG to discuss and make recommendation, ICC could discuss recommendation
    • ICC Terms of Reference can stay the way they are for now
  • Regular review of Terms of Reference?
  • ICC proposing policies and guidelines, such as the Code of Conduct
  • 'Political' role of ICC, managing disagreement as replacement for Tech Lead and Community manager?

Voting procedures

  • Quorum
    • Bump to 5 since committee has ca. 20 members, about half of regular attendance
    • What happens when quorum isn't reached? Depending on agenda: discussions possible, no vote
    • Ian suggests to give ICC members notice ahead of important decisions and expect attendance, vote with simple majority among members in attendance
  • Majority
    • 3/4 for 'important' decisions
    • move to 2/3 majority, bare majority for other decisions
    • Apache Voting Process serves to establish consensus, contains veto rule that can block decisions (if veto expressed in good faith); contains mechanisms to establish outcome of the vote
    • Add language about revisiting Terms of Reference, revisit voting mechanism? Review is possible as needed
    • Terms of Reference changes are treated like "Votes on Package Releases" in the Apache Voting Process
    • Changes to Code of Conduct in same category as Terms of Reference changes? Yes
    • Issues can be raised to "Major decision", requiring all ICC members to vote, during a meeting with quorum using the Apache Voting Process

Next steps for Terms of Reference

  • Accept changes/suggestions to create clean working copy
  • Amy will send out email to notify ICC members on vote about ToR at next meeting

ICC role

  • chair liaises with leadership group and TAG
  • discuss possibility to invite members from TAG to report at ICC meeting
  • discuss how to make ICC work more compelling to members, e.g. roadmap work

Code of Conduct

  • Drew and Amy presented at Open Meeting about other communities' codes
  • Example of recent attack on Samvera community members, even small communities aren't safe from harassment
  • Drew suggests to hold vote on Terms of Reference, then vote on Code of Conduct and forming CoC committee in time for IslandoraCon
  • Volunteers for CoC committee potentially difficult to recruit
  • Suggestion: Ask for volunteers for limited-term CoC committee for IslandoraCon; work with IslandoraCon planning committee
  • Training and planning: e.g. DLF Bystander training, other resources used by Samvera community
  • CoC draft ready for vote? Vote on CoC during same meeting as ToR

Open Meetings during Summer

  • Possibly cancel summer Open Meeting? Alternatively use time slot for trainings
  • Amy will check in with Isabella about plans for next Open Meeting times
  • ICC will do further planning during next meeting
