Electorate
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
The electorate for this election are the Foundation individual members that
|
||||||
|
are also Active User Contributors (AUC) over the last six months.
|
||||||
|
The electorate is requested to confirm their email address and (if applicable) IRC handle
|
||||||
|
in their Foundation Member Profile, https://openstack.org/profile ,
|
||||||
|
prior to August 7, 2017 05:59 UTC so that the emailed ballots are mailed to the
|
||||||
|
correct email address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Candidates
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
Any individual member of the Foundation who is an Active User Contributor
|
||||||
|
(AUC) can propose their candidacy (except the two sitting UC members elected in
|
||||||
|
the previous election).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Self-nomination is common, no third party nomination is required. They do so by
|
||||||
|
sending an email to the user-committee@lists.openstack.org mailing-list, with
|
||||||
|
the subject: "UC candidacy" by August 11, 05:59 UTC. The email can include a
|
||||||
|
description of the candidate platform. The candidacy is then confirmed by
|
||||||
|
one of the election officials, after verification of the electorate status of
|
||||||
|
the candidate.
