For the AC Reps (1/2)

1. Align with Bylaws:
   Restrict elections and votes to those in Bylaws Good Standing
2. Refine the AC Appeal to account for low participation:
   • vote thresholds increased if 5% ≤ participation < 20%
   • If rejected, proposer(s) may revise their proposal
3. Simplify:
   No more Proposed Recommendation: AC Review will happen on a (team-verified) Candidate Recommendation Snapshot

For the AC Reps (2/2)

Update charter handling by Team:

4. Substantive changes after AC Review gets formal review from AC subset who reviewed
5. May formally request that the Team initiate charter refinement (5+ may request an AC appeal if Team rejects)

Charter Refinement

Clarify charter handling by Team before AC Review

• Clarify roles and responsibilities for ensuring that new charters are well-socialized and mission aligned.

  (Charter facilitator, wide review, disposition of comments)

• Increase predictability and accountability by recording Team decisions not to initiate charter refinement or AC review.

  (Declining to start work on a charter is a Team decision)

• If Team declines, provide an efficient and low-cost way for handling dissent to the Team’s decision.

  (5+ AC Reps may request an AC appeal)

• Formal Objections on draft charters are processed after AC Review

For Group Chairs

• (WG) No more Proposed Recommendation: request to move to Recommendation based on a (team-verified) Candidate Recommendation Snapshot
• (WG) Team may withhold an update request if lack of progress on external issues
• Registries may also be published by IGs, AB, or TAG

For AB and TAG

1. [Council] TAG/AB excluded from voting on their own decisions/proposals (but they can still participate)
2. [Council] Relax the criteria for Unanimous Short Circuit, to allow for a few absences
3. Recall procedures for TAG and AB

Recall procedures for TAG and AB

#882 - June 2024

• removing one person by supermajority of the body (#986 merged)
• recalling the whole body by the AC (Draft PR #888, awaiting AB feedback)
• removing the CEO's ability to remove individuals (awaiting AB discussion)

[Proposed] Timeline

• mid-April 2025: wide review of the draft Process

  TODO: PSIG feedback?

• mid-May 2025: AC review of the proposed Process
• June 30, 2025: New Process adopted

But, feel free to comment at any time!
