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!
