Dear Gentoo Community,

Nominations for the Gentoo Council 2017 / 2018 election will start at
00:00 UTC 2017/06/10 (Saturday) and will remain open for the next two
weeks until the end of 2016/06/23 (Friday) (2016/06/24 00:00 UTC).

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:

    * The council is composed of seven elected members
    * Nominations are allowed from June 10th 00:00 UTC to end of day
June 23th (June 24th 00:00 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 25th 00:00 UTC to end of day July 8th
(July 9th 00:00 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 9th, 2016 (the day before the election was opened)
    * Gentoo uses the Condorcet method of voting
    * Results should be published around July 10th
