Hello everyone, Yesterday the nomination period ended, and we got 7 nominations in total, which is great! For the secretary seat, we have one uncontested nomination. For the Core Committee, we have 6 nominations against 4 available seats, so this means that we will be holding a proper election, starting now! The nominees are (in temporal order of nomination): - Korvin Szanto - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/Rv43KRFOt_A - Navarr Barnier - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/kAOTuIFB7Eg - Chris Tankersley - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/xtrwd7o6SOQ - Ken Guest - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/QtKqPOYZ2HA - Florian Engelhardt - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/wjxZf1VMzDA - Enrico Zimuel - https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/vA-dFT8lXbM
You can find information about the nominees inside the linked nomination thread. Full information about the Core Committee vote and role is visible in the bylaws here: https://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/mission-and-structure/#the-core-committee *Who can vote?* As specified in the bylaws, the vote for CC members is open to Project Representatives and individuals from the community. To be eligible to vote as an individual, the bylaw established the following threshold:: *"Any individual that has posted a non-trivial message in the official FIG venue (mailing list, forum, etc.) at least five (5) times within the past calendar year as of the start of nominations [...] is eligible to vote on Core Committee candidates."* We will obviously consider Discord in this account; feel free to reach to me or any other secretary to check on the matter. *When can you vote?* Voting will be open in this thread until January 29th 17:00 UTC. *How to vote* Votes are cast by replying in this thread on the list. For individuals that have not used the mailing list before, please be sure to identify yourself, for instance by including your Discord or Github handle. The voting system used is STV[1][2], so basically, there is no tactical voting possible (like with FPTP); vote for who you want, even if they are a less popular candidates as your vote will move down to a different candidate if you back an unpopular candidate who doesn't have enough votes; if a candidate is elected, their surplus votes are also re-allocated so you are not punished for backing popular candidates either. There is no quorum, you are of course entitled to not vote and it will not count as a missed vote on the voting sheet. Rank all the candidates in order of preference for example: 1. Luke 2. Leia 3. Anakin 4. Rey 5. Padmé 6. Finn At the end of the voting phase, secretaries will be announcing the results, and all the newly elected (both CC members and secretary). Thanks, and happy voting!
