WPLUG operates as a collective. Our governance is designed to ensure that the group remains representative of its members while maintaining the decisive leadership necessary to execute a vision.

Leadership Election: The collective elects leadership to fill roles as they are needed or created. These elections are conducted via popular vote of the membership.

The Chairperson: Leadership elects a Chairperson from among their own ranks. Upon election, the Chairperson vacates their previous role to assume this position.

Decision Making:

• The Chairperson has the final say on all proposals.
• The Check: The Chairperson's decision can be overruled by a 3/5ths majority of the Leadership body.

Accountability:

• Leadership is accountable to the membership. A leader may be removed from their seat if 5/7ths (or a higher specified threshold) of the members vote for their vacancy.

• Voting Procedures: How we vote
• Leadership Roles: Current roles and responsibilities (TBD)
• Bylaws: The formal rules of the collective (TBD)

— Knowledge should be shared. No gatekeeping. Keep it FOSS.
