As a reminder to the ONAP community, the nomination period for the TSC election ends 17:00 Pacific Time, Friday, Nov 1.
Any member of the community that meets the “active” criteria may run for a seat on the TSC. Based upon questions asked last year, I want to share the following info to clear up any possible misunderstandings: * There are no limitations on the number of candidates that can run for a TSC seat. We want a healthy, diverse community, so if you believe that you would be a valuable member of the TSC and you meet the criteria, please run for a position. * You do not need to be from a Platinum member company to have a seat on the TSC. You can be from Gold, Silver or Associate member company, or even be an unaffiliated independent contributor as long as you have met the “Active Community Member” criteria. * More than one person from a company can run for a seat, but only person from that company can win a seat. This applies to both reserved and non-reserved seats. EXAMPLE: BillyBob, BillyRay and BobbySue from Company X both run for a seat. In the election BillyRay gets 30 votes, BillyBob gets 40 votes and BobbySue gets 50. The seat would go to BobbySue. * A reserved seat only means that someone from one of the named-nine companies is guaranteed a seat on the TSC as per section <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Technical+Community+Document#ONAPTechnicalCommunityDocument-4.1.1.1TSCMembershipDefinitions> 4.1.1.1 TSC Membership Definitions. It DOES NOT mean that a seat is reserved for a particular person from that company. * In the event that the current TSC member from one of the named-nine does not meet the criteria to run in the election I will be reaching out to the LFN Governing Board member from that company with the following information: * If no one from the company meets the Active Community Member criteria, the Governing Board member will be given an opportunity to place someone of their choosing on the ballot * If anyone from that company does meet the Active Community Member criteria, the name(s) of the “active” members will be provided to the Governing Board member for review as at least one of those individuals will be required to run for that reserved seat. * If the individual is a contractor, the Governing Board member should communicate that back to me. Note that the contractor can still run for a non-reserved seat if they wish. I hope that this information helps.

NOTE: Replying to another candidate's self-nomination email announcing your own self-nomination is considered a blatant disregard for open source community norms. If you do that, you should probably re-assess both your qualifications and motivations for leading a collaborative community such as this. Your self-nomination email must include a link to your stats in Bitergia <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Getting+Your+Stats+From+Bitergia> (instructions on how to do this). It is strongly recommended that candidates also include a small head-shot, a short biography and statement of intent on why you would be a good person to hold a seat on the TSC. As a courtesy, it is also requested that you fill in the <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/2019+TSC+Election+Candidates> 2019 TSC Election Candidates wiki page with that same information. Filling out the wiki page is NOT in lieu of sending the email as required, but it will greatly help facilitate the process of the elections. Special Provision for the original 9 ONAP Operators: There are 9 seats reserved for the nine original ONAP Platinum Service Provider members. Each of these Operators is REQUIRED to have at least one person nominate themselves for their seat on the TSC. If and only if an Operator does not have any eligible Active Community Members at the time of nomination process, they may appoint a nominee to run in the election. In such cases, the nominee must indicate that they are exercising a provisional nomination in their email.
