This is also a good time for a reminder! If you have been nominated by someone, your work is not done! You must accept the nomination by completing the candidate application as linked in the nomination emails the system will send to you. If anyone has any questions about serving on the board, please feel free to reach out. -Julia On Mon, Dec 11, 2023 at 4:32 PM Kurt Garloff <openstack@garloff.de> wrote:
Hi,
the Open Infra communities have many strengths.
One of them is a well-balanced board of directors that has representatives from all member classes, the Platinum members, the Gold members, and from individuals [1] that are part of the communities and elected -- each class contributing 1/3 of the seats.[4]
I am worried about the individual class though: There are currently only 3 candidates that have enough nominations to be on the ballot [2]. 3 more needing a few more nominations. But I believe there should be a few more candidates on the ballot, otherwise it becomes an election without choice, something that is not good IMVHO. So please identify individuals that want to serve and nominate [3] them. This makes the elections meaningful and allows the board to do its work with also the individual members well represented. And there are only 3 more days to go for this!
