[Evergreen-governance-l] Fwd: Proposed New Governance Changes

[McKinney, Elizabeth]

Lori and all, 

This was among the latest of Sylvia's versions.  She modified the document to reflect that staff coordinating an Evergreen consortium be allowed to serve on the board.  I agreed with this change.  Amy, does this cover what you wanted for Bibliomation?

Take a look at this…language has been modified to read that an “Evergreen Consortium” should be recognized on the board. This could be a library or the administrative headquarters. 


Thanks, 

Sylvia

Section 3.3 (Composition) is still missing additional wording regarding consortial hq staff: 



(i) academic library 

(ii) public library 

(iii) independent library that is not part of a consortium 

(iv) library that is a member of an Evergreen consortium ç This needs updating 

(v) library located outside of the United States

Governance Group: 





Attached is a revision of the Rules of Governance. The revisions reflect comments from the two most recent meetings and an attempt to have the Foundation serve as the single unified organization for Evergreen. In addition to some minor language clean up, the major changes to this version of the Rules of Governance are: 




    • Clarification that one of the Foundation’s purposes is to serve as the community’s user’s group 
    • A dues structure has been added. The dues are low enough ($10 for individuals and $100 for institutions) that contributors should not balk at having to pay to support the foundation, whether that contributor is a board member, developer, committee member, library, etc. 
    • A Code Committing Committee has been added in recognition of the comments made by the Software Conservancy (about Equinox) and various governance committee members in recent meetings, so that the Foundation will have some input with regard to Evergreen code 
    • Membership is open to anyone who wants to join and is willing to pay the membership fee. 
    • Eligibility criteria for board membership now includes the language that was originally required for Evergreen Foundation Membership. 






Probably by December we need to come to some sort of agreement so that we have an authoritative board with an established Chairperson who will have the authority to sign the agreement with SFC on behalf of the Foundation, and also so there is time to get the committees up and running in preparation for the elections at the annual meeting, among other things. Let’s keep in mind that the board (both the Initial Board and regular Oversight Board) does have the power to modify the Rules of Governance in the immediate and long term future if something isn’t working. 





Jim
