Voting Policy Details

The voting policy is defined in the RISC-V Policies Procedures document.

Role key

Participant: The member is a active participant in the work group and a voting member. Their voting status is reflected in the Voting Status column. The criteria for maintaining voting status is defined below.
These members actively participate in and contribute to meetings with an oblibation to vote on all questions before the Technical Committee, on new work item proposals, and initial drafts and drafts for approval.
Note: RISC-V policy also limits each entity (company, organization as recognized by RISC-V Membership) to a single voter. As such, participants from the same entity should preferably select amongst themselves who will have the Voting status of Voting.
Also note, Individual members who participate may also vote and always only represent themselves. But members who both work for a RISC-V member and who also have an individual membership will always be treated as members of the entity.

Observer: The member is a non-voting participant in the work group. Registration as an Observer is completely optional, but may be helpful to the group chairs.
These members follow the work as an observer, and therefore to receive documents and have the right to submit comments and to attend meetings.

Voting Status key

Voting: The member is a voting member and is in good standing
Probation: The member is a Participant who may not yet vote for one of two reasons:
1. they have not met the initial criteria to vote or,
2. they did not maintain their ability to vote and have not yet achieved re-instatement.
None or blank: The member either is an Observer or is a Participant but is not the Voting member for their entity.

Voting Criteria

For the purposes of this criteria, attending any in-person or virtual meetings of a group over a week, constitutes attending all meetings of the group for the week.
Failing to vote criteria
