Failure of application of RFC 0006 - Governance

Open LambdAurora opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi, I guess I'm now supposed to be a former Quilt Admin Board member.

Though, I have an issue.

I have been forcefully removed with no regards of RFC 0006 - Governance, specifically the Removal Of Staff section, which states:

Any team member or administrative board member may be removed by a majority vote of all eligible organization members. The following members are eligible:

  • All members of the relevant team
  • All members of all the sub teams of the relevant team
  • All members of all the parent teams of the relevant team
  • When the team in question is the Admin Board: All members of all teams

No vote has been held, this should make the removal, for anyone who still cares anyway.

Given the direction this is taking I guess you should just amend the RFC anyway since it seems to hold of little importance.

I'm not one to stir up drama and I'm writing this as a complete outsider to how Quilt generally functions, but it seems concerning to me that an admin board member was forcefully removed with no vote even though the agreed upon procedures directly state that it's required.

As I understand it, LambdAurora is (was?) a respectable member of the Quilt project from early on and a respectable figure within the modding scene as a whole, so this is a confusing thing to see and concerns me greatly about the integrity of how the Quilt project is administrated.

The lack of any response (publicly, at least) for three weeks is also concerning for something so serious.

I obviously don't know what happened, and there has certainly been communication that I'm unaware of between different parties, but this is a very concerning thing to have lying around, and I think some sort of further explanation or public statement would be in order.

@ChristianLW OroArmor claimed on a commit comment on the website repository that they were drafting a blog article about this. As far as I'm aware, a vote would've resulted in her removal anyway.

Okay so apparently I've been misinformed. There will likely be no blog post.
