I propose "no-lead" to be an option to run the project officially

GLEP 39, " It may have one or many leads, and the leads are selected by
the members of the project. This selection must occur at least once
every 12 months, and may occur at any time."

My interpretation of this statement is "may" means optional.  It doesn't
say must have at least one lead.

I don't think this is actually true, or at least I recently recall of
that being an option. We are obligated to perform some kind of lead
selection but no specific lead is as good as many leads.

May refers to the choice of 1 or multiple

2. Projects without a lead, lead elections
==========================================

The wording of GLEP 39 was found to be unclear if not confusing (it
states that a project "may have one or many leads", and that their
selection "must occur at least once every 12 months").

After discussion the following points were agreed upon:
* The Gentoo Wiki project page template should be enhanced to show the
  last lead election date for each project.
* The council sends an e-mail to the gentoo-project mailing list asking
  projects to consider electing a lead and confirming her/him regularly.

I have to go to a work meeting, so I'll read the summary later, ubt the
only two points that were agreed upon were that it should show the
election date and that the council should ask them to *consider*
electing a lead.  Not force them to do so.

which recognizes the GLEP requirement, however, there won't be any

Proxy maint is coordination point between multiple groups in the
community and certainly should adhere to GLEP 39.

This still reinforces that we don't NEED to have a lead. Gokturk's proposal for a "no lead" option is thus valid and must be honored. Since no one can "accept" that nomination, I second it, making it effective.

That would be compliant, although the number of leads should normally
reflect division of responsibilities to some extent.

Thanks for the nomination. I've been somewhat busy of late with studies and
other IRL events, but I expect this to ease a little before long. Therefore, I
accept the nomination.

Thanks!

I think most would better understand the use of *must* rather than *may*
would have a clearer meaning if the interpretation was intended as
Kristian suggests. In lieu of additional consultation on the subject, I
suggest the project uses the wording as is, and as others have confirmed
the interpretation of 'may' is preserved as indicating an option rather
than enforcing a mandate.

Incidentally, if it is desired to change the GLEP - that is an entirely
different topic, and as such would have to be ratified by the Gentoo
council.

We've already discussed the legitimacy of the "no-lead" option and your
personal opinions that we *should* have a lead are different than
whether we *must* have a lead.  If you opt not to include this in the
election that you are facilitation, there is no point in considering
this valid or binding.

Holding an election and reminding other nominees that there's only 1's accepted so far does not preclude the 'no lead' option, I think you might be jumping the gun slightly NP.

Wes

Irrespective of that , I won't continue facilitating this election given
the level of debate. If the proxy maint project wants to violate GLEP 39
it is up to the project

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1540 bytes --]

Thank you very much for all your effort on this matter. I will take it
from here and try to held elections. We have no intentions to violate GLEP.

Still the same rules:

This is a call for nominations to a member-initiated election
of a lead for the Proxy Maintainers project.

I propose the following rules and procedure for the election
 - Anyone can nominate a potential lead. Nomination should happen
   by response to this email and the deadline for nominations is
   Sunday 17th of July at 12:00 UTC

 - Only Gentoo Developers listed as part of the project as of this
   announcement can vote in the election.

 - Voting is anonymous but verifiable

 - The election happens using https://vote.heliosvoting.org and
   developers eligible to vote will receive an email from the service
   with a link to the election and a username and passphrase.

 - The voting starts no later than Monday 18th of July at 12:00 UTC
   and is open until Sunday 31st of July at 12:00 UTC.


Wait for incoming team members !

Cheers,
Amy

You posted clarification from the council that shows that the council
ruled on the matter that the council will not force a project to have or
not have a leader.  It's up to what works for the project.  Now, as a
result, not having a leader is a valid and compliant choice for this
project.  You are entitled to want a lead, and as part of the
"manifesto" period, you can argue that we are better off with a lead
than not.  But a "no lead" option, as per your submitted evidence, is
A-OK from the council's standpoint.
