Each hat's term begins three months after the + start of a core team's term and ends three months after the end of + a core team's term. Hats are explicitly approved by the new core + team at the start of a hat's term. An individual who serves as a + hat for two consecutive terms may serve again after a break of at + least one full term.</p> + + <p>Core shall review all hats annually.</p> + + <p>If a hat becomes vacant during a term, core shall appoint a + replacement for the remainder of the term. It is at core's + discretion whether the shortened term will count for purposes of + limiting the terms of the replacement.</p> + + <p>If a core team is dissolved prematurely, then the next term for + each hat will begin three months after the new core team's term + begins. It is at the new core's discretion whether the shortened + term will count for purposes of limiting the terms of current + hats.</p> + + <p>These limits apply to individual hats and not to teams. For + teams with a single lead role, the limits shall apply to the lead + role. An individual that is not eligible to serve as the lead of + a team may continue to serve as a member of the team.</p> + + &footer; + + </body> +</html> Modified: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/internal/policies.sgml ============================================================================== --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/internal/policies.sgml Mon Jun 25 22:56:46 2012 (r39127) +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/internal/policies.sgml Tue Jun 26 14:28:20 2012 (r39128) @@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ the <a href="i18n.html">Internationalization Policy</a>, the <a href="data.html">User Data Policy</a>, +the +<a href="hats.html">Hats Term Limits Policy</a>, and the <a href="../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pr-guidelines/">Problem Report Handling Guidelines</a>.</p>
