[9:32] Jos van den Oever: Hello everybody [9:38] Patrick: - OFFICE-3884 - https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3884 -- new from Andras: picked-up proposal from Kohei Y. - added to TC's wiki in 2009 - OFFICE-2173 - https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-2173 -- Andras found implementation in LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice and Gnumeric and will drive this proposal for next version of ODF [9:41] Jos van den Oever: two co-chairs means two people total, right? not one chair and two co-chairs [9:41] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: here is the TC process text regarding co-chairs: The responsibilities of Chair of a TC may be discharged by no more than two co-Chairs. In the event that the Chair position is so shared each co-Chair is equally responsible for the Chair duties and responsibilities. Throughout this TC Process, whenever a notification to the TC Chair is required this must be made to both co-Chairs. [9:41] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: link: https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#chairs [9:44] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: "Full Majority Vote" is a TC vote in which more than 50% (more than half) of the Voting Members vote "yes", regardless of the number of Voting Members present in the meeting. Abstentions are not counted. For example, in a TC in which there are 20 Voting Members, at least 11 Voting Members must vote "yes" for a motion to pass.

[9:52] Jos van den Oever: https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#voting [9:56] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: +1 for Jos [10:05] Jos van den Oever: So it turns out voting for a cochair can be quite complicated. [10:06] Jos van den Oever: "TCs may conduct electronic ballots, either by using the TC's general mail list or the publicly archived electronic voting functionality provided by OASIS." [10:07] Jos van den Oever: so we can do the ballot via email on the mailling list [10:07] Jos van den Oever: if the oasis ballot system is somehow limiting [10:08] Jos van den Oever: i think the hardest part would be on how to avoid or resolve a tie [10:09] Jos van den Oever: yes/no/abstain is a requirement for votes on a work, for a vote on other things you can have custom votes [10:09] Jos van den Oever: but the web ui might not support that, in which case we can vote via the mailing list [10:16] Patrick: In the event of a no full majority vote, the TC will vote for the person receiving the most votes to become the TC co-chair. In the event of a tie, the TC will elect the new co-chair at its next meeting. [10:16] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: Rob is asking on the TC's mailing list: Have we discussed how to conduct a vote with more than two candidates? Does OASIS have a requirement for how we do this? [10:17] Patrick: Any TC chair or co-chair election shall be by Full Majority Vote of the TC, with each winning candidate having received a full majority vote regardless of the number of candidates. [10:17] Patrick: 2.7 TC Chairs [10:19] Michael Stahl: Andreas: OFFICE-3860 with "forced-exponent-sign" is fine with me, i'll propose that for vote next meeting [10:29] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: regarding calendar entries for the next TC calls: I will remove the current dail-in information from all calendar entries except the next TC call [10:30] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: In case of a missing teleconf. system for next TC call we will be able to use mine again. [10:34] anonymous morphed into Chris Rae [10:35] Chris Rae: hi all - are we still using Oliver-Rainier's conference call details? I couldn't find mention of new ones [10:38] Chris Rae: argh, please ignore, it appears I've succumbed to daylight savings time confusions [10:42] Jos van den Oever: hi chris, yes you just missed the meeting
