Rationale

+ +

The FreeBSD Core team appoints several individuals + (&ldquot;hats&rdquot;) that perform critical roles within the + project. It is important to reduce single points of failure in + these roles. Additionally, turnover in hats can provide fresh + insight and help avoid burnout.

+ +

The current set of core-appointed hats is core secretary, head + release engineer, the security officer, and postmaster.

+ +

It is suggested that shortened terms longer than half of a core + term be considered a full term for purposes of eligibility.

+ +

This policy will begin with the start of the next core term, and + all hats will start off with zero terms at that time.

+ +

The FreeBSD Core team approved the following hats term limits + policy which was posted to the Developers mailing list on June 22, + 2012.

+ +

Policy

+ +

An individual may serve as a core-appointed hat for at most two + consecutive terms. 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.

+ +

Core shall review all hats annually.

+ +

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.

+ +

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.

+ +

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.
