- 3 years mandates, renewable once (resets after 6 months of absence)
- Special provisions to make sure the board doesn’t get renewed all at once
- Co-optation of new members, after a public call
- 3 years mandates, it seems renewable at will
- 3 Fixed “cohorts” renewed at a 1-year interval
- Election by Voting members, that is: members recognized for their contribution to the ecosystem, or who paid an annual membership – $99 by default, can be reduced up to $25 if it’s too expensive.
- Exceptional vacancies may be filled by a vote of the rest of the board
- (with some subtleties), the two oldest of the 8 persons committee leave at the end of each year, making it roughly a 4-year mandate. Renewable after one year of break.
- Proposed by the committee, and appointed by the “Project leader” (who’s elected by the community)
- Special cases where the committee becomes too small, allowing either the remainding members or the leader to appoint some members directly
- 2-year mandate (in general)
- Chosen or elected by the foundation members (companies, with a membership between $5k and $300k per year). Different membership levels give different weights in the vote (up to platinum members who get to directly appoint a member).
