Diversity Initiative Governance
2+
===============================
3+
4+
Membership
5+
----------
6+
7+
Membership of Symfony's Diversity Initiative is open to any member of the
8+
Symfony community; to avoid the risk of elitism or meritocracy, no requirement
9+
is needed to be involved. All members, at any time, are invited to put forward
10+
ideas and suggestions as a proposal for an actionable item.
11+
12+
Guidance
13+
--------
14+
15+
The project leader, Fabien Potencier, is responsible for publicly appointing
16+
five (5) key players of the initiative to provide guidance and drive it forward,
17+
but also retains the right to revoke any of the key players at any time. These
18+
guiding key players should:
19+
20+
* Be committed to the initiative's cause and have joined because they want to
21+
help the initiative to deliver its purpose most effectively for the
22+
community's benefit.
23+
* Recognize that meeting the initiative's purpose is an ongoing effort.
24+
* Be committed to good governance and want to contribute to the initiative's
25+
continued improvement.
26+
27+
Veto
28+
~~~~
29+
30+
The project leader (Fabien Potencier) will have the right to veto any actionable
31+
item, regardless of the vote of the initiative's key players. The project leader
32+
may, at their discretion, also appoint other people from among the initiative's
33+
key players to also have the right to veto - in such a case these people are
34+
expected to use appropriate judgement to know when to use a "no" vote or a veto.
35+
Any single veto will reject an actionable item.
36+
37+
The purpose of having members with the right to veto is to prevent a "people's
38+
majority" from overruling the core interests of the Symfony project. This will
39+
encourage communication between proposing members, the initiative's key players
40+
and the Core Team to create realistic proposals, and in return any veto will
41+
come with a full explanation (not just a justification).
42+
43+
Advice Process
44+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45+
46+
When a proposal on an actionable item is ready to be decided on, insight from
47+
the community (advice, general consensus, or non-binding poll) should be
48+
requested from the wider community - this will aim to include both those who
49+
will be meaningfully affected and those with meaningful expertise in the matter
50+
at hand.
51+
This feedback will enable the key players to have the confidence to vote for the
52+
best possible decision according to the information they have available, knowing
53+
that the responsibility they accept for said vote is justified.
54+
55+
Voting
56+
~~~~~~
57+
58+
Key players have the right to vote on proposals for actionable items.
59+
The quorum of "yes" or "no" votes required for a decision to be considered valid
60+
is at least 75% of active, appointed key players - to abstain from voting means
61+
that vote will not be counted towards the quorum.
62+
For an actionable item to pass, approval from greater than 50% of the voting key
63+
players is required. Use or management of finances/donations require at least a
64+
two-thirds majority to pass.
65+
66+
Guidance Principles
67+
-------------------
68+
69+
Purpose
70+
~~~~~~~
71+
72+
The initiative should be led by an effective team of key players that provide
73+
strategic guidance in line with the initiative's aims and values, including a
74+
shared understanding with fellow key players to ensure that these are being
75+
delivered effectively and sustainably.
76+
77+
Integrity
78+
~~~~~~~~~
79+
80+
Key players should act with integrity: adopting values which help achieve the
81+
initiative's purposes, even where difficult or unpopular decisions are required.
82+
Key players should undertake their duties, aware of the importance of confidence
83+
and trust in the initiative from the wider community, and ultimately
84+
acknowledges shared responsibility for the reputation of the Symfony project
85+
like the Core Team.
86+
87+
Decision-making Effectiveness
88+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
89+
90+
Key players should work as an effective team, using the appropriate balance of
91+
skills, experience, backgrounds and knowledge to make sure its decision-making
92+
processes are informed and equitable. Risk assessment and management systems
93+
should be set up and monitored.
94+
95+
Openness and Accountability
96+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
97+
98+
The behaviour and conduct of the initiative's key players sets the tone for the
99+
rest of the community. Key players should lead by example to create a culture
100+
that enables members to feel it is safe to suggest, question and challenge -
101+
rather than avoid - difficult ideas and topics. Key players guide the initiative
102+
in being transparent, accountable and open.
103+
104+
Adaptability
105+
~~~~~~~~~~~~
106+
107+
The initiative should establish processes that do not require any one person to
108+
hold specific positions while being adaptable to accommodate unforeseen needs of
109+
the community, especially as membership and involvement grows over time (changes
110+
to key player appointment will have to be approved by the current system, which
111+
is Fabien Potencier).
