Decisions on what fundraising and projects/efforts to support will be done by a
simple majority and in the case of a tie, will escalate to the PSF Board.
Voting will be done through some mechanism which is transparent to all voting
members of the workgroup (Mailing List, Slack, etc). The preferred venue for
votes will be the mailing list.
Decisions on what fundraising and projects/efforts to support will be done using the voting procedures outlined below. Anyone may propose or request funding for a specific project/effort to be considered by the WG by emailing their proposal to packaging-wg@python.org. It is recommended, but not required, for anyone with a proposal to find a champion among the voting members prior to submitting their proposal.
Line 58: Line 40:
When adding new members to the working group, prospective members must send an
email to packaging-wg@python.org introducing themselves along with a description
of why they want to be a member and what they bring to the process. Approval of
new members will be decided by a simple majority vote, with ties defaulting to
a "No".
In general, projects/efforts funded should follow these guidelines:

 * Improve or maintain the state of Python's packaging effort by some noticeable or measurable amount.
 * Have at least rough consensus/agreement from the owners of whatever project is being touched (e.g. don't spend money on something a project doesn't want) or general agreement from distutils-sig for cross project efforts (ideally in the form of an accepted PEP).
 * The project in question being under the PyPA banner is recommended, but not required for funding.

== Voting ==

A vote for any proposal will last for 5 days, or when all voting members have voted, whichever comes first. For a proposal to be successful it must have at least two +1's, more +1's than -0's, and no -1. Voting should generally be done using the mailing list, but may be done in any venue given agreement of all voting members.
