Re: [science-iwg] Key outcomes from today's meeting
|
I will have to agree with Mike. I don't think it's a good idea, and I don't see _why_ guest members should have any voting rights. I guess they will still be able to share their opinions, which is fair enough.
Best regards,
Torkild

A compromise was suggested to leave it to the Steering Committee to bestow voting rights or not when adding guests. I'm going to use lazy consensus here & suggest we do that... if you are NOT OK with this idea, please speak up ASAP.

But as someone who has some passing experience in open source governance, I would say that giving Guest Members voting rights is a bad idea. Voting is supposed to be about merit and contribution. If you have a temporary and passing participation in a group I don't know why you would expect to get voting rights.
