Dear Gentoo Community,

Nominations for the Gentoo Council 2016 / 2017 election will start at
00:00 UTC 2016/06/04 (Saturday) and will remain open for the next two
weeks until 00:00 UTC, 2016/06/18 (Friday).

All nominations must be sent to the gentoo-project mailing list. If you
were nominated and want to run, you have to accept your nomination on
the same mailing list.

Here are the rules:

    * Council elections generally happen once a year
    * The council is composed of seven elected members
    * Nominations are allowed from June 4th 00H00 UTC to June 18th
00H00 UTC
    * Only Gentoo developers may be nominated
    * Anyone can nominate (nominating yourself is OK)
    * Nominees must accept their nomination before voting begins
    * Voting is opened from June 19th 00H00 UTC to July 3rd 00H00 UTC
      (there is one day of break between nominations and voting so the
infra team has time to set up everything)
    * Only Gentoo developers may vote
    * The list of Gentoo Developers is based on active membership
by June 3rd, 2016 (the day before the election was opened)
    * Gentoo uses the Condorcet method of voting
    * Results should be published around July 4th

The election page for this election[1] will contain all pertinent
information regarding the election.
