Hi all, As stated by the bylaws, a removal thread due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity is automatically triggered after missing at least three consecutive voting procedures. Filoketes has missed the last 4 voting procedures, does not respond, and never declared himself inactive. The relevant part of the bylaws: active TUs that keep quorum from being established on a voting procedure for three consecutive voting procedures (they need not be on the same motion) are automatically brought up for removal procedure, by reason of unwarranted inactivity. There is one special case for removal, removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity, for which standard voting procedure deviates from the above. This motion is also automatically triggered by repeated quorum offenses, as described in the Quorum subsection of this document. For this special case, SVP is followed with a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days. SVP( inactivity_removal_of_TU, 3, 0.66, 5 ); I already opened a couple of threads before, the last one of them gives a good overview of the situation: We already had an unofficial 'discussion' in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-February/006988.html I'm feeling sorry for having to do this, but this mail starts the 3 days discussion period.
