Dear community,

as another Kubuntu Council member decided to step down from his position today, 
the council is down to 3 people which is the minimum required amount of members 
to make any decisions.

With this, we immediately need to elect 3 new kubuntu council members to keep 
the council functional. If this will not be possibly for whatever reason, the 
council will be disbanded, at which point we will inform you of the further 
proceedings.

As this is an out-of-schedule election and the terms of the remaining council 
members don't match, the election will proceed as follows:

The remaining members of the Kubuntu Council are:
- Philip Muskovac
- Valorie Zimmermann
- Myriam Schweingruber
their council membership will be set to expire one year after the voting period 
is over.

The new council members will start a regular 2 year term.

As in the past, the election will be conducted using CIVS (Condorcet Internet 
Voting Service - http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html ).  The top three 
ranking vote recipients will be elected.

Eligibility: 
All Kubuntu Members ( https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/+members ) are 
eligible to be nominated and to vote.  If you have a public email address in 
Launchpad, you need take no further action to receive your voting ballot.  If 
you do not have a public email address, please contact me offlist with the 
address you'd like your ballot sent to, otherwise you will be unable to vote.

Nominations: 
All Kubuntu members are eligible.  The Kubuntu Council is intended to represent 
all of the Kubuntu community.  Applications from involved non- developers are 
encouraged.  If you are nominating someone else, please confirm their 
willingness to serve before nominating them.  Nominations should be done in 
public via either kubuntu-users or kubuntu-devel mailing lists.  If there is 
some extraordinary reason that precludes that, contact me directly. 

Commitment: 
The Kubuntu Council is the leadership body of Kubuntu.  Members of the council 
are expected to be active in Kubuntu.  The Kubuntu Council has three primary 
roles:
 - Approve development plans for future Kubuntu releases
 - Approve Kubuntu membership applications
 - Resolve disputes within the Kubuntu project 
The time commitment is not large.  Meetings are generally only once every 
several months and conducted via IRC. 

Questions: 
If there are questions, you can contact me (preferably) via this mailing list 
or (if really necessary) via direct mail.  I can also be found on Freenode IRC 
in #kubuntu or #kubuntu-devel, nickname: yofel
