ATC definition is in the bylaws: section 3:
http://www.openstack.org/legal/technical-committee-member-policy/

Eligibility for PTL and the electorate is covered in the charter:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/reference/charter.rst#n106

And this resolution:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/resolutions/20141128-elections-process-for-leaderless-programs.rst

Election officials administer elections according to the rules as outlined.

Thanks,
Anita.
