Re: [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] Election status?

 It seems there was a mix up at the oversight board meeting. (  
http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2015-10-05  ) Do you have a new ETA 
on Mr. Holt's report?

A person who attended the meeting or read the minutes rather than make
groundless speculations might think that the oversight board is
concerned that the election committee is failing to meet its deadlines
and consequently appointed a liaison to expedite the process. A person
who attended the meeting or read the minutes would also note that
progress in being made on the new website and feedback has been
requested.

I don't know about the election, but there has been progress regarding the
membership process. Kudos to Samson, Caryl, and Sebastian for improving
that process. I expect that Adam will report in at the next SLOB meeting,
which is Monday, 5 Oct.

Since this seems to be your current hot-button issue, perhaps you could

The meeting log seems to support the speculation that the election process has 
stalled.

Two and a half months passed without movement.  When appointed the task, Mr. 
Holt gave a response the he would talk to ' Caryl Bigenho and others.' Since 
then, two more weeks have passed without  public signs of progress from either 
Ms. Bigenhho or Mr. Holt.
