The Vote:

The Ballot:
This ballot will include two items.
Item #1 Approval of the Roadmap Council Charter
The Roadmap Council has developed a charter under guiding the work and scope of the group.
- A "Yes" vote counts toward ratification of the Roadmap Council Charter
- A "No" vote recommends that the Roadmap Council Charter be returned to the current committee for revision
Charter:
The Roadmap Council exists, as much as possible, to minimize conflicts between the roadmaps of the Core Components, Hyrax, Hyku, and Avalon in consultation with the Metadata Interest Group, the Repository Management Interest Group, and a Samvera Service Provider, while allowing the individual work-streams to progress at their own pace. They will identify when cross-project development and maintenance sprints need to be arranged and coordinate communication to the Samvera Community about these activities. This group is chartered per the Governance Recommendations adopted by the Samvera Partners in April 2018. More information about the Roadmap Council can be found in Recommendation #4 of the Samvera Governance Next Steps document.
Item #2 Ratification of Changes to Steering Bylaws
At the Partners Meeting in Salt Lake City at the Marriott Library , Partners discussed several changes to existing bylaws which govern Samvera Steering. Richard Greenprovided Partners with an overview of proposed Bylaws for the Samvera.
