Hello again.

The nominations for the empty seat in the Council were closed 20 hours
ago. All the details about this election can be found in the Council
Elections Archives[1]. The information about the nominees can be seen in
the 200912 nominees[2] page. If you think you're entitled to vote in
this election, please check the list of voters[3].
The dates for voting in this election will be pushed back 24 hours as I
failed to notice the start coincided with New Year's and the elections
team is busy this night. Thus, the dates for voting are the following:

voting: January 2nd to 15th

The election officials for this election are going to be me, Roy Bamford
(NeddySeagoon) and a 3rd person (we have candidates, but the position is
still open) and the infrastructure contact for the election is going to
be either Shyam Mani (fox2mike) or Robin H Johnson (robbat2).

The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for
this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[1]. In any
case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify:

    * If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to dev.gentoo.org
    * Type votify --new council200912 to create a new ballot file
    * Edit .ballot-council200912 file in your home directory and rank
the candidates
    * Once you're finished, use votify --verify council200912 command to
verify validity of your ballot file
    * If everything is okay, use votify --submit council200912 to submit
your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you submit it.
    * If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself
using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help

The elections for the Council now include the _reopen_nominations
candidate. Any candidate that ranks below this candidate cannot be
selected to fill the missing seat or any future seats that open until
the next full council election. If the council remains with an open
seat(s) and no candidates are eligible to fill that seat, a new election
will be held to fill that seat / those seats.

If you have any doubts, please contact one of the election officials in
IRC, you can use the elections project channel[4], or email the
Elections team[5].

Hi.

This is a reminder that the voting ends on January 15th, so there's a
little over 4 1/2 days left to vote.
At this point we have 66 valid ballots from 260 eligible voters ~ 25%.
So if you can vote, logon to dev.gentoo.org and cast your vote.
To complete the information in the previous email, Alec (antarus) is the
3rd election official for this election.

For the election officials,
