The Fedora Server Working Group has nine voting members. We encourage involvement in the Server Working Group from all parts of the Fedora Project.
The Fedora Server Working Group has a variable number of members. This group is primarily an organizational team; they exist solely to establish quorum during voting meetings.


Each voting member of the working group will confirm their continued membership every six months. In the event that a current voting member relinquishes their seat, the remaining voting working group members are responsible for appointing a new voting member to fill the seat from the active Fedora Server community via majority consensus.
Any WG member may voluntarily exit their chair at any time. New members may be added to the Working Group by being nominated by an existing member, then getting a +1 vote and zero -1 votes from three existing members within a two-week period. After that window is up, the person is added to the group.

For bigger issues, where there may be disagreement within the Server Working Group itself where the necessary quorum is not reached (with 5 members being required for quorum,) or where there is long-term impact, or where an action may not easily be undone, we will schedule an IRC meeting during which a vote will be conducted. In the case where a voting member can not make a meeting, they can either pre-vote via the mailing list or abstain-by-default. Five positive votes will be required, regardless of the number of voting members present, for a proposal to be accepted.
For bigger issues, they must be discussed and voted on in a public IRC meeting. Public IRC meetings are generally held most weeks on Tuesdays at 4:00pm Eastern US time in {{fpchat|#fedora-meeting-1}} on Libera. For an IRC meeting to be held, at least three Working Group members must be present. Votes are accepted by all participants in the meeting (not just those of Working Group members), so the community is highly encouraged to join. In the case where an interested party can not make it to a meeting, they can pre-vote via the mailing list.
 
=== Changing these Rules ===
 
This document will be approved by consensus of the initial Server Working Group members and approved by FESCo.
After initial ratification, any substantive changes can be approved by majority vote and sent to FESCo for acceptance.

Fedora Server WG Governance

This document describes the governing structure for the Fedora Server WG.

Membership

The Fedora Server Working Group has a variable number of members. This group is primarily an organizational team; they exist solely to establish quorum during voting meetings.

Any WG member may voluntarily exit their chair at any time. New members may be added to the Working Group by being nominated by an existing member, then getting a +1 vote and zero -1 votes from three existing members within a two-week period. After that window is up, the person is added to the group.

The current composition of the Server Working Group can usually be found at the Server landing page.

Making Decisions

Because Fedora is a global project, members of the working group may be distributed across multiple timezones. It may be possible to have real-time IRC meetings or Google+ hangouts, but in general we will conduct business on the mailing list or announce either IRC meetings or Google+ hangout events in advance should they take place.

The Server Working Group strives to work on consensus and only vote on things where it’s clear people aren’t going to be convinced to agree. Many of our decisions can be made through "lazy consensus." Under this model, an intended action is announced on the mailing list, discussed, and if there is no controversy or dissenting views with a few days, simply done.

For bigger issues, they must be discussed and voted on in a public IRC meeting. Public IRC meetings are generally held most weeks on Tuesdays at 4:00pm Eastern US time in #fedora-meeting-1[?] on Libera. For an IRC meeting to be held, at least three Working Group members must be present. Votes are accepted by all participants in the meeting (not just those of Working Group members), so the community is highly encouraged to join. In the case where an interested party can not make it to a meeting, they can pre-vote via the mailing list.
