[FFmpeg-devel] New CC member: Steven Liu

[Ronald S. Bultje]

Hi all,

Anton resigned from the CC [1], leaving an empty spot. The remaining
members of the CC agreed it would be best to fill the spot with the next
runner-up from the last CC Elections. The last CC election results [2] had
Steven Liu as next runner-up, so we've asked him to fill Anton's spot for
the remainder of our term, and he accepted. Thanks & welcome, Steven!

Ronald

I don't have a problem with this in practice, but the legitimacy of such 
an appointment is not rock solid. The CC itself probably should not decide 
on CC membership, as that comes from the GA.

Maybe we should always choose a spare member (as in the 6th winner), who 
can automatically jump in. And if more than 1 person resign, a new 
election can be held.

Regards,
Marton

Agreed. Though we see this the first time and the discussion some time 
ago did not raise much participation / interest.

Sounds as a good possibility to me. We should determine our procedure of 
choice and put it into the docs.

We are using a proportional system, which does not work this way.
