<pre wrap="">Kent has proposed the following process, which I suggest may be a
reasonable compromise between all the competing factors. The existing
Council will serve as a nominating committee, and recruit candidates who
agree to serve on a renewed Council. (This could be existing Council
members or new people.) This slate of candidates would then be presented
to tb-planning for a single vote, much like the one a year ago, to see
if there is consensus.</pre>

I agree with Kent's proposal. The Council currently consists of
seven members, which can be found here:<br>
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/Thunderbird#Thunderbird_Council<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>
