Don't really care if there will be elections or not since I think
current team is leading TB in good direction.<br>
But for legitimacy sake there should be elections sometime in next 6
month.<br>
<br>
My suggestion is to copy elections from TDF book. Only TB members
can vote, and only way you can become TB member is to contribute in
some way (code, QA, support, marketing, l10n etc...) over some
period of time or maybe even add people who donate more then XX in
period of last 12 months. Every member gets 1 vote of same value.<br>
<br>
Don't see why being vouched Mozillian (I'm actually vouched
Mozillian) would give you right to vote if you don't have anything
to do with TB. Maybe for first elections, to apply some kind of
filter, but definitly not later on.<br>

I agree with Kent's proposal. The Council currently consists of
seven members, which can be found here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/Thunderbird#Thunderbird_Council">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/Thunderbird#Thunderbird_Council</a><br>
<p>Or if you want to save the click:<br>
Kent James, Wayne Mery, Philipp Kewisch, Magnus Melin, Joshua
Cranmer, Mike Conley, Florian Quèze. <br>
</p>
<p>Council members are/were active contributors who make the bird
fly. If I understand Kent's idea correctly, he wants to replace
the not-so-active members with some more active ones.</p>
<p>Personally I don't see the need for nominations: The Council
already knows the people who are suitable new candidates. A
public vote is a nice idea, but also unnecessary, since there
are no competing parties. Contributing to discussions on
tb-planning is nice, but so far I haven't seen anyone step
forward to actively and consistently share the *responsibility*
for Thunderbird.</p>
<p>One Tuesday during the bi-weekly meeting Berna from the pEp
foundation said the following (quote):<br>
"Those who do the work should also have the lead, ..." - I fully
agree.<br>
