I think Mike Jones is the keeper of the guidelines on how the process works, but as I understand it the top vote recipients have 2 year terms, and the next group gets one year terms. So in this election, 3 get 2 year terms and 3 get one year terms. Others are kept on the list in the event someone resigns or more are needed if we add more corporate members.
Good idea to post a FAQ. John, is this something you can do?

I feel like we should set up wiki.openid.net/Elections<http://wiki.openid.net/Elections> to help bring a lot of this information together... What it our outreach strategy for getting people to vote? Who is eligible to vote? I think we'll need to work with Darin again to send out an email to the membership to let them know that voting begins tomorrow! And, what determines who wins? Simple majority? How do we handle ties? Etc. I'm sure there's information about this in the bylaws, but a simple FAQ would be very useful.
