- <h2>Rationale</h2>
-
- <p>The FreeBSD Core team appoints several individuals
- (&quot;hats&quot;) 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.</p>
-
- <p>The current set of core-appointed hats is core secretary,
- head release engineer, the security officer, and postmaster.</p>
-
- <p>The FreeBSD Core team has approved the following hats term
- limits policy. This was first posted to the Developers mailing
- list on June 22, 2012, and amended in June 2015.</p>
-
- <h2>Policy</h2>
-
- <p>An individual may serve as a core-appointed hat given that:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Core approves their appointment or re-appointment to the
- role.</li>
- <li>The individual is willing to continue.</li>
- <li>The individual is still able to perform the role
- effectively.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Hats are appointed at the pleasure of core. Appointments may
- be rescinded by core at any time where this serves the needs of
- the project.</p>
-
- <p>Each hat's term begins three months after the start of a core
- team's two year term and ends three months after the end of the
- core team's term. Hats are explicitly approved by the new core
- team at the start of the hat's term.</p>
-
- <p>If a hat becomes vacant during a term, core shall appoint a
- replacement for the remainder of the term.</p>
-
- <p>Core shall review all hats annually.</p>
-
- <p>In general it is expected that volunteers serving in hat
- positions will be limited to serving for four consecutive years,
- rounded up to the first natural review/appointment cycle.</p>
-
- <p>Non volunteers serving in hat positions are still expected to
- participate in annual reviews and provide for continuity to
- core's satisfaction.</p>
-
- <p>Each hat must appoint a deputy who can cover their role in
- the case of absence or illness, and be trained and ready to take
- over the role (subject to core approval) should the role holder
- resign before the end of their term.</p>
-
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <p>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.</p>
