Membership, seems I missed providing you the list of current Directors that will be continuing serving on the Board and the ones which seat is up for renewal instead.
Quoting Philip Chimento himself: """" We decided that the directors who received the most votes (in the order they were elected in the runoff) in the 2019 election would continue. These were Carlos, Federico, and Allan. Carlos indicated he was unable to commit to another year, so the next runner-up was me. Continuing: Federico, Allan, and Philip Seats up for reelection: Carlos, Rob, Britt and Tristan """" The deadline for submitting candidacies is tomorrow, please send your one in if you're willing to run for this year's elections :-) Thanks, Il giorno lun 18 mag 2020 alle ore 15:17 Andrea Veri <a...@gnome.org> ha scritto: > The GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee are pleased to > announce the upcoming elections for the Board of Directors in Spring 2020. > > The most important deadlines (UTC) in the timeline are the following: > > *GNOME Board Elections 2020* > 2020-05-18: List of candidates opens. > 2020-05-29: Last day to announce candidacies, submit > summary statements. > 2020-05-30: Final list of candidates. > 2020-06-01: Instructions mailed to eligible voters, voting > begins. > 2020-06-14: Voting closes. > 2020-06-15: Preliminary results are announced. > 2020-06-22: Last day to challenge preliminary results. > > ELECTIONS > ========= > > Four of the seven members of our current Board of Directors have been > ruling GNOME for 12 months now.
