Updated by vote of the TSC.
Overview
This page is the result of the community's effort to refactor the OpenDaylight Technical Steering Committee (TSC) election system. It provides background information, guiding principles, a "framework" of ideas that have consensus. OpenDaylight's Technical Steering Committee will be elected by a set of multi-winner elections, one election per Represented Group. The set of Represented Groups and the number of TSC seats allocated to each will be determined before each election by the outgoing TSC.
...
TSC elections will happen yearly.

Seat Allocation
OpenDaylight TSC seats are allocated to Represented Groups (RGs) of the OpenDaylight community. Represented Groups are typically Constituencies with systematically competing interests that the TSC wants to ensure have voices (in the form of votes). Seats may be allocated to other groups, for example, to incentivize behaviors like projects moving to later ODL Lifecycle states.

The Condorcet algorithm, with the Condorcet-IRV completion rule, will be used for OpenDaylights OpenDaylight's first new-style election. Tooling will be provided by the Condorcet Internet Voting Service, which is open source and maintained by Cornell. ODL's Elections Framework was originally designed with STV in mind, but no suitable web-based implementation can currently be found and Condorcet may be a more fair algorithm.
...
The result is that person D is eliminated and the main RG elections are re-run.
