+ = D&I Team Decision Making Process

+ 

+ This page describes the decision process followed within the Fedora D&I team.

+ 

+ [[process]]

+ == Process

+ 

+ **Lazy Approval**::

+ This means general consent is assumed unless valid objections are raised within a specific period of time i.e. 5 days along with minimum two positive vote (+1) and no -1's.

+ Votes can be cast by any approved member of diversity team.

+ This process is used for decisions with short-term consequences and which can be easily reversed.

+ Any team member can ask for the deadline to be extended or the decision escalated to require full consensus.

+ 

+ **Full Consensus**::

+ More significant decisions are made through a process of full consensus.

+ In order to pass, these decisions need three positive votes (+3) and no negative votes (-1) within a specific period of time i.e. 14 days.

+ The votes can be cast by any of the approved members in the FAS group for the Diversity and Inclusion Team.

+ A negative vote immediately halts the process and requires discussion.

+ Therefore, in order to remain valid, negative votes must be supported with a specific concern about the proposal, and suggestions for what could be changed in order to make the proposal acceptable.

+ 

+ **Who are the eligible Members to vote?**

+ Fedora link:Diversity#Team_Members[Diversity and Inclusion Team member] are eligible to vote.

I'm not sure what page we are linking here. Currently this is a 404 link when I test locally: http://localhost:8080/diversity-inclusion/decision-process/Diversity#Team_Members

Maybe it is better to not include a link here? I'm not sure where we publish a list of team members other than FAS.

+ 

+ **Which approval process should be followed and when?**

+ Lazy approval will be followed for tasks which already have a defined process in D&I Team and when all prior steps for this task have been completed with just the ticket-based approval remaining.

+ For example, translation of an article,  sponsoring a new membership etc.

+ 

+ Full consensus is needed for approving new processes, additional improvements to an existing process and tasks requiring D&I funding.

+ For example - proposal for event guidelines for Fedora event organizers, for the decisions related to D&I team presence at Flock, full consensus process will be followed.

For AsciiDoc, the recommended practices suggest writing each sentence on its own line. This makes git diffs easier to review in future PRs that make changes to the docs content. It would be great to reformat the doc this way to help make things easier in the future.

This is minor, but since this is a URL anchor, it should be lowercase: [[process]]

I think lines 9-19 would look better as a description list. :smiley: Add a double-colon (i.e. ::) to the end of the bolded line. See the Description, multi-line section of the AsciiDoc syntax reference guide.

This creates this link (http://localhost:8080/diversity-inclusion/decision_process/Diversity#Team_Members), but it doesn't go anywhere. What page do you want to link to? If it exists on docs.fp.o, we can use a cross-document xref link.

Hi @amsharma, thanks for improving the docs. :smile: This looks good to me and reflects the discussion we had previously.

I left a few comments in-line with suggestions. When you have a chance, please take a look at the feedback and then we should be ready to merge. In addition to the in-line comments, I have two additional comments:

  1. Please use a hyphen (-) instead of an underscore (_) for the file name
  2. Add a link to this page in nav.adoc (so it appears in navigation bar)

Using a hyphen affects the URL schema. Using hyphens over underscores is a subtle tip for better search engine optimization (SEO). And adding a link in nav.adoc will make sure it appears with the rest of our docs in the navigation sidebar.

Thanks again for working on this Amita. :tada: :tada: Let me know when you want me to take another look.

Hi @amsharma, did you have time to look at this PR again?

Hi @jflory7 whenever I come back to the issue I see this long list of comments and I go back to my other stuff 😓. Not that the comments are meaningless or not important but they somehow manage to keep me away to fix them..sorry took longer than expected but hopefully will do it this week. thanks.

@jflory7 hey done, please check. Thanks for the review :)

I'm not sure what page we are linking here. Currently this is a 404 link when I test locally: http://localhost:8080/diversity-inclusion/decision-process/Diversity#Team_Members

Maybe it is better to not include a link here? I'm not sure where we publish a list of team members other than FAS.

@amsharma Thanks, your changes look great! :raised_hands: I caught one last thing while doing a follow-up review and left an in-line comment above.

I did a second read-over and I have more feedback on the process itself, but I will comment in #98 since my feedback doesn't block this specific pull request. Thanks again for working on this. :smile:

The only thing blocking this PR is a broken link. Since the PR is approaching a year old and there are no other blocking criteria, I am going to merge this and push up a new PR with a fix for the membership link.
