[OpenID board] Board voting time lines

[Johannes Ernst]

To pick up the discussion on how rapidly votes could or should be  
called after it is clear what the issue is to be voted on ...

Tony made the point today that for certain votes, some board members  
may need/want to obtain advice from legal counsel, which requires a  
bit of time

It was my point earlier that some issues require some thinking by the  
members before they should vote, and also the ability to have one-on- 
one conversations to inform one's vote -- among board members but also  
outside. Come to think of it, board members should have the time on  
substantive issues to ask a question on a mailing list, and listen to  
what members say, before deciding how to vote. It's the equivalent of  
doing an opinion poll in one's district before voting in Congress ;-)  
to make sure the constituents are adequately heard.

Would one week be sufficient for these kinds of purposes?

Cheers,



Johannes.
