Board Votes

Last Updated: 12/20/2013 By: Avni

Voting Process

Please follow these steps to put a proposal up for a KOC Board vote. We hope this process allows everyone to review and give their thoughts and feedback on a proposal. KOC functions as a collaborative group and everyone's input is welcome and encouraged. Please also note that everyone is welcome to submit a proposal (it doesn't have to be a KOC Board member).

Step	Timespan	Notes
1. Proposal is circulated to the main KOC list for feedback and revisions.	2 days	Proposals may require different timespans for discussion. 2 days is a general guideline. This can be longer or shorter depending on the discussion.
2. Formal proposal in its final form is sent to the main KOC list, put on the Board Votes wiki (this page), and sent to the Board List for a vote.	1 week	Voting opens and if no majority decision is reached within one week the proposal fails, not to be resurrected without starting over.
3. Vote results are relayed to the main KOC list.	1 day	After vote is determined, the results should be sent to the main KOC list within one day.
