Re: [boost] RFC.. Steering Committee Bylaws Proposal

It has become clear to me, and some others, that the recent decisions of the Steering Committee have exposed various problems with how the Steering Committee operates. At CppCon I met with some of the Steering Committee and expressed the concerns with them. I also explained, from my experience in other organizations, how such issues are managed. The result of that is that I will be proposing the Steering Committee adopt operating Bylaws. But before formally presenting them to the Steering Committee I'd like get feedback on them http://bit.ly/2hI22DN[1].

The Bylaws hopefully address some key issues that I feel are at the core of the current problems:

* Decisions can be made without input from interested parties. * Opaque selection of members. * No recourse by library authors to correct problems.

This follows the original goals of the formation of the formation of Steering Committee of being transparent and responsive < http://bit.ly/2yoL5Ij>[2].

When buildbot joined the SFC, one of the requirements (and service!) that SFC had was to help create a board together with all the rules. Since boost is also a member of the SFC, did it do the same? If so, wouldn't that board already have rules and regulations? Or is that body distinct from the one called "Steering Committee"?
