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!
