Therefore we will complete an *open call for volunteers* and will translate and communicate giving enough time to all our members on our supported lists. In my opinion *the motion haven't pass yet *as have only 3 valid votes in favor: Walter as 1 of the 4 candidates <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2017-2019-candidates>for the 2017-2019 elections should abstain to avoid any direct interference with the current election process he is participating in. Again, *I would support a motion for new members as long as they are Sugar Labs members in "good standing" and have made a volunteer request to be part of the Committee on a OPEN, inclusive and transparent way. *.
