MyBB RFC Process

Proposal

The RFC proposes to adopt the following document as our official internal RFC process:

https://github.com/mybb/meta-internal/blob/master/docs/rfc-process.md

The process as written may be amended in future RFCs. The process as written must be followed for all future RFCs.

The voting options for this RFC shall be: accept, reject, abstain.

Justification

• We currently struggle to reach clear consensus on issues.
• We do not have good documentation for the decisions we have made that will stand up to community scrutiny.
• It is currently difficult to engage enough of the staff in making decisions to make a decision that a majority agree with.

Actions

• All Staff - submit or call for RFCs where appropriate.
• All Staff - regularly contribute to RFC discussions.
• All Staff - vote on RFCs in good time.
• All Staff - adhere to the RFC process.
• All Staff - carry out any actions assigned to them as a result of an RFC.

Effects & Implications

If RFC votes do not meet quorum, we will have to address that fact and it will inevitably result in staff members who are not active being removed.
