Dear all,
(1) According to our by-laws [http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Bylaws],
article 8, "The Assembly of Committers elects the Project Management
Committee of Apertium every two years or whenever a vacancy occurs". The
last election occurred in December 2017. We are therefore late.
(2) According to article 23a, "An Election Board of 3 committers (with
one substitute each) will run the election.". We need to appoint this
board, preferrably made up of people who are not running for the
election. I would appreciate it very much if six committers volunteered
to run it and one of them led the process.
(3) I announce will not run for president this time (I haven't decided
about running for a position in the PMC yet). My role in Apertium in the
last year has been testimonial and I believe it is time for someone else
who is more active to chair the PMC.
(4) As I am the only one who is able to operate the Apertium account(s),
one of the first things we would have to do is for the new PMC to open a
new account to which I would transfer the balance after updating the
reporting I keep, which is outdated by about 4 months [1].
All the best,
Mikel
