These are great points, Robin. Waiting until the end of September makes
perfect sense. I am also hoping that the newfound committee may be a bit
more diverse than the leadership so far. Your nominations are noted and I
am pleased to see these names in the pool. In the event we do not get the
quorum from the Management Board members, we may have to consider
encouraging a vote from the consortium membership instead, and/or the
broader LA* mailing list membership.
Best,
Ico

What is the decision making process?
A little under one month from the announcement to having the new persons
in place
is a bit short.
I agree, also in some places there are already summer vacations. Perhaps
end of September is a better target, with a deadline for nominations by
end of August.
If, let's say over the next two weeks, some
people (self-)nominate,
I hereby nominate Fons Adriansen (kokkinizita), Milkii Brewster
(
https://libreav.org/), and Nils Hilbricht (
https://sonoj.org/).
Given their diverse talents in community management, software
development, web-design and conference organization, they may also make
a good team to push the consortium forward.
how and who will decide who belongs to the new
committee and/or select
the successor?
according to
http://linuxaudio.org/policy.html
"Should a management decision be put to a vote, each representative will
have one vote, with the Chair having a casting vote in the event of a tie."
In the past the "Management Board" met every year at LAC (more or less),
but at this point in time it is somewhat unclear who is still active:

Various members have announced their resignation already a few years ago.
