Structure and Voting

Each project determines its own voting rules. For example, the Dojo Toolkit gives one vote to each of its committers. If a resolution passes, the Dojo Foundation Board will automatically approve the measure unless it jeopardizes the Dojo Foundation.

For foundation-wide issues, votes are conducted via email, with one vote per committer per project. Foundation-wide measures include the addition of new projects to the Dojo Foundation, and the election of the Dojo Foundation Board.

The Dojo Foundation Board consists of 4 generally elected members, and one member elected by the project leads council. No more than 50% of the Dojo Foundation board will be represented by a single corporation. The Dojo Foundation currently has only two members, and will have elections in late 2008 to expand its Board of Directors to five members

In addition to the Dojo Foundation Board, there is a project leads council that not surprisingly includes the project leads of each project. The project leads council brings any significant issues to the Dojo Foundation Board. In general, these processes are extremely casual, and formality only exists in the rare case of a real problem.
