### Voter Eligibility

Contributions include, but are not limited to, opening PRs, reviewing
and commenting on PRs, opening and commenting on issues, writing design docs,
commenting on design docs, helping people (e.g.: on slack), and participating in
working groups. Anyone who has at least 50 contributions in the last 12 months is
eligible to vote in the TOC election.

[This dashboard][1]
shows only GitHub based contributions and does not capture all the contributions
we value. **We expect this metric not to capture everyone who should be eligible
to vote.** If a community member has had significant contributions over the past
year but is not captured in the lfanalytics.io dashboard, they will be able
to submit an exception form to the current TOC who will then review and
determine whether this member should be marked as an exception. In a case where the
TOC declines an exception request, the requestor may appeal that decision
We are committed to an inclusive process for electing the TOC. Any member of the
technical community who has contributed to the project in the last year should
have the ability to participate in the TOC election process. Contributions include,
but are not limited to, opening PRs, reviewing and commenting on PRs, opening and
commenting on issues, writing design docs, commenting on design docs, helping people
(for example, on Slack), participating in mailing list discussions and participating in
working groups.

For the purpose of simplifying the election administration, an initial set of voters
will be identified through automated reporting. Anyone who has at least 25 measurable
contributions in the last 12 months will be automatically added to the eligible voter
list. [This dashboard][1] shows only GitHub based contributions and does not capture
all the contributions we value.

If a community member has contributed over the past year but is not captured in the
dashboard, they will be able to submit an eligibility form to the current TOC who will
then determine whether this member will be eligible. In a case where the
TOC declines an eligibility request, the requestor may appeal that decision
to the Governing Board.

All eligible voters will be captured at
`cloudfoundry/community/elections/$YEAR/voters.md` and the voters’ guide
will be captured at `cloudfoundry/community/elections/$YEAR/README.md`
similar to the kubernetes election process.

We are committed to an inclusive process and the TOC will have the right to
adjust future eligibility requirements based on community feedback.
