[DRAFT PROPOSAL]: Moving to a Grants Council

[diligit]

@AxlVaz

1- Are we going to see a template for applying to the council?

Yes:

@lavande

More information on the Lead application and Reviewer election process to follow next week (both contingent on the Grants Council passing in Special Voting Cycle #9a)

@AxlVaz

2- It would be good for the Grants Council to present a framework to governance and have governance approve it. That way we all know how the process works.

It will be more relevant if/after the proposal to form the Grants Council passes

@AxlVaz

3- According to the Season 3: Course Correction, January 5 is scheduled to start cycle 3. I don’t think they are giving the council time to get organized to start working, by that date I don’t think the processes are in place. Something that happened with the committees in the first votes because it was all very fast and there was no time to organize the work.

Season 3 will start on January 5th if the proposal to form the Grants Council does not pass in voting cycle 9a, if it does pass then on January 5th voting cycle 9b will start in which Council members will be voted on.

@system

Jan 5th - January 18th: Special Voting Cycle #9b (any proposals contingent upon passing in Special Voting Cycle #9a). If Special Voting Cycle #9b is not necessary, Season 3 may start on January 5th
