You seem to have moved on from the question about private categories, but since I was asked - yes, you could have one, but I agree a group-PM seems a better way forward.

I took another look at this. I’m not so sure I want to remove the “send them an email first” requirement. I think it adds a personal step, makes sure the person is really inactive, and makes sure they directly receive a copy of the message. Currently, the PR just says that the topic will be created and then voted on. I think there at least needs to be a “wait at least X days for a response from the inactive member” step.

@gotmax23 SGTM, i’ll change the PRs
@gwmngilfen @mariolenz i don’t remember how those PM look. It’s possible to open polls there, right? If yes, OK, let’s proceed with the messages. I’ll change the PR
How about now, PTAL
Well, let’s test it. I’ve opened a PM to the SC group including a vote / poll.

@gotmax23 sure, thanks for the great feedback to all of you!
For the record: Voluntarily leaving the Steering Committee
I think we should move the discussion I’ve started there to this thread.

@SteeringCommittee Please remember to vote, tomorrow is the last day!
My question here was still unanswered in the policy:
Also, do we want to include the committee member on the private message or should it only be sent to the other SC members?
My 2c. The person affected should be included in the discussion, so they can make their case if needed.
@gotmax23 that question was already answered implicitly since it says the message is sent to the SteeringCommittee group - which includes all SC members. (Thanks @Leo for pointing that out in the meeting 
)

might be a good idea to add another contact method beyond email like phone or text or Signal since the project doesn’t really use email much at all for comms
The vote is now closed!
SC: 8 x +1 (Andersson007, mariolenz, felixfontein, gundalow, acozine, russoz, cassel, gotmax23), 0 x -1
Community: 2 x +1 (oranod, Leo), 0 x -1
This means the vote has been accepted!

The PR unfortunately had a conflict (after merging the PR for the vote that ended the day before); I’ve rebased the PR ([SC vote needed] Steering Committee: simplify member removal policy; update links by Andersson007 · Pull Request #1075 · ansible/ansible-documentation · GitHub). Would be glad if someone else from SC could check that I didn’t accidentally modified something
