In light of the current file transfer debate and request to the Council
for assitance, I would like to propose the following by-law addition to
clarify the Council's role. This proposal requires 5% of the JSF to
second it so that it can be voted on during the upcoming JSF Membership
meeting in August.
Call for Arbitration
The Council, as an official body, shall have no sway over the direction
of Jabber Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) until they are brought before the
Council for a vote UNLESS a Call for Arbitration is made. Any member of
the Foundation can, at any time, call for the Council to arbitrate a
dispute amongst JEP authors over the direction that a single JEP, or a
group of JEPs, should take. The call must be seconded by at least 5% of
the full membership of the JSF and at least one of the authors of the
disputed JEPs within 10 days of the call. The Council then has one week
to review the situation and produce a ruling. The ruling shall be
binding to all of the parties involved.
