Hi all, This email contains a link to the proposed governance, steps for how to comment, some further thoughts from me, and a proposed timeline for ratifying this governance. # Proposed governance I have drafted a first governance for the Op1st community, ready for reading and comments in this pull request: https://github.com/operate-first/community/pull/107 You can make comments directly in the "Files changed" view in GitHub, line by line. Every sentence within a paragraph has its own line, making it easier to comment directly. # How to comment Instructions for this are in this comment in the pull request: https://github.com/operate-first/community/pull/107#issuecomment-989183317 # Thoughts about the sections One section I forgot to include in the pull request is also in there as a comment from me, the one that initiates the Community SIG and the Operations SIG as the two starting community groups. One of the most important sections of governance for folks is the membership section. I think we need to plan for a membership scenario going forward based on where we are, and for us to essentially consider everyone as a member to start. So congrats, most of you are therefore members, and are encouraged to join one or both SIGs, once things are finished and ratified. # Timeline My proposal is we decide on this governance by consensus, the model for that is spelled out in the governance. Because we have no other way to decide things at this point, we are going to do the strange thing of adopting consensus as the model for this decision. This means, if you disagree you can try to convince all of us to use a different decision model. If you agree, you are free to +1 this section of my email. 08 Dec -- Proposed governance raised 15 Dec -- First call for consensus is made, giving a chance for any blockers (-1) to be raised 18 Dec -- If consensus is reached, governance is adopted. If there are blockers, we continue to work through them. 21 Dec -- If we still have blockers and have not reached consensus, then we hold over to January 2022. 11 Jan -- Second call for consensus is made, regardless of open blockers. Call for consensus at this point includes if the community is going to proceed regardless of blockers, or for us to identify which blockers we want to resolve. Weekly until closed -- We move through the blockers or decide every week by consensus to no longer try to work through a blocker. Ultimately, anyone making a block is saying they are willing to leave if they don't feel their blocker is resolved. So each of these consensus points is a chance for the community to say if we want to continue working this out or if we have reached consensus without the blocking person included. -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his] | Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen The Open Source Way : https://theopensourceway.org Operate First : https://operate-first.cloud _______________________________________________ Community mailing list -- community(a)lists.operate-first.cloud To unsubscribe send an email to community-leave(a)lists.operate-first.cloud

Thanks! Commented, and shared around internally for more reviews.

Sure, I think services that are not just based on OSS but also embrace an OSS contribution model will be an integral part of the success of the Operate First community.

Really happy to see this come together! Very much in favor of adopting it!
