The addition of a TU may occur at any time.
In order to become a TU, one must first find two sponsoring TUs following
to announce their candidacy on the aur-general mailing list. Following
I'm reading carefully through the TU bylaws, and I think they need some clarifications: the guidelines outlined below, and arrange privately with them the announcement, standard voting procedure commences with a
discussion period of 14 days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 7 days.
SVP( addition_of_TU, 14, 0.66, 7 );
If a candidate is rejected by SVP, they may not reapply to become a Trusted User for a period of three months.
* It's unclear if the "arrange privately with them to announce their candidacy" part is a requirement or not, but it seems like it is. * It's unclear if "the announcement" starts when the candidate announces it, or when two TUs have confirmed the sponsorship. * It's unclear if "the announcement" is part of the "standard voting procedure", and/or if the confirmation of sponsorship is part of the "standard voting procedure". Since the announcement of the candidacy was done without it having been arranged privately (unless Sergej did this), I believe the current process is void (but possible to start again later: the addition of a TU may occur at any time).
