TilT Evaluation of the
AC Review Results
How TiLT manages AC review results depends on the results
themselves. The first three cases below require TilT discussion; the
fourth only requires notification to TiLT.
Case 1: There are Unresolved Formal Objections
The charter shepherd reports the review
results to TiLT for discussion and requests the start
of a Council.
Case 2: There are Changes
If there are no unresolved Formal Objections but there are changes
to the charter —either requested by reviewers or resulting from
resolution of Formal Objections:
- The charter shepherd changes the charter and notifies all
of the AC Reps who replied to the call for review. These AC Reps have
7-10 days to express dissent.
- In parallel or subsequently, the charter shepherd also
reports the review results to TiLT. That message
should highlight the same (7-10 day) window for TiLT to request discussion
of the changes.
If the time period elapses without dissent by AC Reps and TiLT gave its
approval,
the charter shepherd proceeds directly to
requesting
announcement of the charter. Otherwise, TiLT discussion takes
place. Upon subsequent approval, the charter shepherd
requests announcement.
Case 3: Uncontroversial Review but TiLT Approval Required
If there are no Formal Objections and no changes, then there are
still two scenarios when TiLT approval is required:
- In the TiLT decision to request AC review, there was
a requirement to discuss the AC review results whatever the outcome
(e.g., to assign FTE based on the level Member support).
- The review did not reach the 5% threshold and TiLT did not
relax that requirement in the decision to seek AC review.
In either case, the charter shepherd reports
the review results. That message should highlight that the review was
uncontroversial and point out which topics now require TiLT
approval. Upon subsequent approval, the charter shepherd
requests announcement of the charter.
Case 4: Uncontroversial Review and No TiLT Approval Required
The charter shepherd reports the review
results to TiLT and indicates that the charter is deemed approved and
no further TiLT approval is required.
The charter shepherd then
requests announcement of the charter.
Reporting AC Review Results to TiLT
In all of the above cases, the charter shepherd reports the review
outcomes to TiLT with the
following information:
- The distribution of reviews. It helps to highlight either that there have been
Formal Objections or that there is Consensus.
- A record of any substantial review comments and replies to those comments. In particular, for any Formal Objection, whether:
- No attempt has been made to resolve it.
- An attempt has been made to resolve it but it has remained unresolved
(e.g., because the reviewer did not respond, or no agreement can be reached).
- It has been resolved. In this case indicate the resolution and whether
that involved changes to the charter.
- It has been overridden by a Council (e.g, deemed out of scope or
overruled for any other reason).
- A list of proposed changes to the charter (such as a link to one or more pull requests),
and whether those changes were requested during the review or as a result of resolving
a Formal Objection.
- Pertinent IPR statements, if any
