This message serves as a call for nominations for candidates to serve as chairs of the afs3-standardization group. Please read on for details on how the process will work and how to register your nomination(s).
As noted in a previous message, the registrars have determined that there is sufficient consensus within the community on the process described in draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-00.txt to proceed with election of initial chairs as described in that document. The elections process is defined in section 2.2.2, with additional notes on initial bootstrapping as described in section 3. Since there are not yet any chairs, the registrars will perform the vote-taking role. The current registrars and their email addresses to be used for this election are as follows: Jeffrey Hutzelman <[email protected]> Thomas Kula <[email protected]> David Howells <[email protected]> Consistent with the constraints described in section 2.2.2, the registrars have adopted the following timeline for this election: 01-Jul-2010 Eligibility Cutoff (see below) 03-Aug-2010 Call for nominations 17-Aug-2010 Nominations close - 23:59 UTC 24-Aug-2010 Call for votes 07-Sep-2010 Voting closes - 23:59 UTC 14-Sep-2010 Results announced 01-Oct-2010 New chairs take office As provided in section 3, this election will result in appointment of up to two chairs. The individual receiving the largest number of votes will serve a two-year term, from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2012. The individual receiving the next largest number of votes will serve a one-year term, from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011. Eligibility to vote is determined by those who are subscribed to, or have posted to, the standardisation group during the time period from the 1st of June to the 1st July of the appropriate year. There were no unsubscriptions and no posts from non-subscribers during June, so the list of eligible voters is the same as the list of subscribers as of July 1, 2010, which I have reproduced below. For the record, in the first half of 2010 there were exactly five messages from non-subscribers; one was a post in January from Derek Atkins, and four were messages from two different IETF participants (SM and Elwyn Davies), not otherwise active in the AFS community, commenting on Russ Allbery's draft describing use of SRV RR's for AFS. Any subscriber to this list may view the current list of subscribers by entering their email address and list password at the bottom of <http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization> Anyone at all may view the list of posts made during June, 2010 by visiting <http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/archives/afs3-standardization/2010-June/date.html> Nominations should be sent to the afs3-standardization mailing list and to all three vote-takers, at the email addresses listed above. Any consenting individual may be nominated, but shall be both proposed and seconded by eligible voters. Self-nomination is not permitted. As shown in the above timeline, nominations are open for a period of 14 days from today, ending at 23:59 UTC on August 17, 2010. Nominations received after that time will not be considered. -- Jeffrey T.
