Governance reform for the avant-projet stage

The Reef
1

Hello @reef-governance and @coral-board,

I finished a first draft of the governance reform, which has as a main objective to become more agile. It is based on talks I have had with some of you one-on-one.

Would you be willing to have a look at it and provide feedback?

It is saved in the 2025 proposals folder: Login – Nextcloud

Happy to exchange here or quickly over the phone.

TIA!

Thinking about it a bit more, I’m a bit unsure about whether we should do another selection process for the Board. I could argue in favour and against, and can do so in 2 minutes at the plenary if need be. What wouldn’t work for me though, is leaving the meeting without a decision on the way forward, even if it’s only a temporary one.

Another thing I wanted to add is information I got from little talks I had here and there, which is that @ugne would be willing to go to @reef-recruitment (so that I can leave), and that @els and I are candidates to sprint the avant-projet stage and be part of the core team.

Hi @Lee ,

made some comments in your document (maybe too much). But to be brief:

  • i think it is good enough for now, safe enough to try

  • i am not so flexible (only wednesdays and fridays possible)

  • concern that we won’t safe that much time if we work with ‘building/finance’ pools, but let’s try

  • clearly define what major, minor and operational decisions are (but maybe that was for a second step)

i would do a new selection process, as the responsabilities/time investment of the people of this group have changed.

The motivation for doing a selection process is giving these people a mandate (which could be a valid reason). Needing to invest more time, is a decision they need to make themselves, no need to take up so much plenary time for that.

still i am in favour to do it. The content/responsabilities/expectation of time investment of these members have changed. I personally think i would choose other people because of this change, and i would like to have an interaction/feedback from the people i would choose to verify my assumptions about them. (but can do this last bit out of the context of a PM)

I understand though it will take up some PM time, which is scarce, so wondering if that cannot happen online/ via a survey
