For those members of the team who don't follow the Board-discuss list, I'll mention that the election has not yet been formally called, though people are being encouraged to consider nominating themselves or others.
Please note that only members of The Document Foundation are eligible to be members of the Board or to vote in elections. That leaves out Hazel, who is not a member of TDF. I am a member of TDF and of the Membership Committee, which oversees the election of members of the Board of Directors. Unrelated to that, I will not be nominating for the BoD, and will I not accept a nomination if someone else wants to nominates me. My reasons are private, have nothing to do with TDF, and are not open for discussion. --Jean > On 18 Oct 2013, at 2:58, Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi :) > > There are some fairly fantastic people in this team and it would be great to > see some of you step forwards for nomination to the BoD. > > > I would really like to see Jean, Hazel and Sophie nominated, not just to > address the gender imbalance but also because i think they would be great at > expressing points of view that others on the BoD might not have thought > about.
