Hey Jon ... I want to nail down the process to formally define how recommendations are made to the Foundation? Unless one exists already and I'm not aware of it? Here's what I suggested to the BAC/Corporation:

If you as a TAC member obtain feedback or observe a need that may result in a recommendation, then use Loomio to generate a poll or start a thread either globally or in your community to obtain feedback or consensus. Only start a thread or poll when it's relevant for the community to participate.

  1. We table these recommendations at each monthly TAC meeting for discussion and consensus. This means we need to have them included in an agenda prior to the monthly meeting

  2. We then vote to proceed to a formal recommendation in the meeting. The vote can be recorded in the monthly meeting as minutes which are in Loomio

  3. Once the vote is complete and there is consensus, then the formal recommendation is made to the Foundation Board via email and published in Loomio

  4. The formal recommendation is structured simply and includes what we want to see done. For example, executive summary, business or technical case, and an implementation recommendation. We can boiler plate this.
