[tc][elections] Not running for reelection to TC this term
I've been on the OpenStack Technical Committee continuously for several years, and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the community for their support and for the honor of being chosen to represent you. I plan to continue participating in the community, including in TC-led activities, but am stepping back from reelection this round for a couple of reasons. First, I want to provide others with an opportunity to serve our community on the TC. I hope that by standing aside for now, others will be encouraged to run. A regular influx of fresh opinions helps us maintain the requisite level of diversity to engage in productive debate. Second, the scheduling circumstances for this election, with the TC and PTL activities combined, will be a bit more complicated for our election officials. I'd prefer to stay engaged in officiating so that we can ensure it goes as smoothly for everyone a possible. To do this without risking a conflict of interest, I need to not be running for office. It's quite possible I'll run again in 6 months, but for now I'm planning to help behind the scenes instead. Best of luck to all who decide to run for election to any of our leadership roles! -- Jeremy Stanley

Thanks for serving as part of the institutional memory of the TC - it has been really useful to have you and the context of past decisions when we look at things today. - Graham
