Elections: Two calendar periods are generally planned for elections each year: April and October. Exceptions can be made if the board vitally needs specific skills (for example, if the Treasurer leaves).
Number of Board members: The recommended number of board members to carry out the responsibilities of OSM is 13. This number may fluctuate up to 15 or down to 11.
Term Limits: All future board appointments will be for one 2-year period with exceptions possible if the board vitally needs specific skills (Treasurer, Legal Council).
Selection Criteria:
- Community: nominees should have a strong track record of successfully collaborating with, enabling others, and earning the respect of the Joomla! community.
- Character: nominees should have demonstrated integrity, with a history of acting honestly, fairly and openly when in leadership roles.
- Experience and Expertise: nominees being proposed for specific roles should have strong experience and expertise in those areas.
- Success: nominees should be able to point to a history of success and leaving previous roles in a better state than when they arrived.
- Diversity: our goal is to work toward, and honor gender and cultural diversity. We are committed to seeking nominations from all talented and dedicated members of our international Joomla! community.
- Public nominations open on the 1st of the month and close on the 14th. Nominations must be made with the agreement of the nominee.
- The OSM board examines the candidates and suggests names to the Community Oversight Committee (COC) before the end of the month.
- The COC approval takes 10 business days to approve or reject the names.
- OSM contacts the successful and unsuccessful nominees.
