The Council hold their last meeting in June, the new Foundation trustees take their seats at the AGM in August.=20 Suggested council election dates are =20 Nominations open 01-Jun-24,=20 Last meeting 09-Jun-24 (approx)=20 Nominations close 15-Jun-24=20 Voting 17-Jun-24 to 01-Jul-24 The council need not agree to those dates but its broadly in line with previous years. The new council could then meet on 07-Jul-24. The trustees dates are a bit more complex as the foundation needs to comply with NM statutes. The process starts with the trustees declaring a record date. Only members on record on that date can take part in the election. It ends with the newly elected trustees taking their seats at the AGM due in August. =20 This year there is a complication. jmbsvicetto has retired and I'm expecting to be on devaway. The details of that are on the core ML. Officials may not be candidates. This sometimes leads to having different teams for different elections. 1. We need an -infra contact. Their remaining tasks are to harvest the votes when the election closes and add any email votes to the count. = =20 2. A lead official to set up the election in the elections repo. https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/elections.git/ The details are in https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/elections.git/tree/ README.md There is also the incomplete https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ User:NeddySeagoon/Election_Officials_HOWTO which is based on my experience at the school of hard knocks. 3. Create the 2024-25 Wiki pages https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ Project:Elections for the elections team to maintain through the nomination period. 4. At least two other officials to count the votes. More than two is good.We have had officials become candidates and vanish at short/no notice before.=20 5. All officials need to be in #gentoo-elections and on the elections alias to respond to questions from the electorate. 6. Update topic in -dev with the turnout, post reminders to the electorate. Once we have a team, we can arrange a practice election. On behalf of the elections project. --=20 Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods arm64 --=-XJCx9+NfPDuWq2TxOu7C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEsOrcx0gZrrCMwJzo/xJODTqpeT4FAmY2PyAACgkQ/xJODTqp eT7+Vgf9Ebp0DYd62ZO7dUqTabBeUbRN5jq8fO3sq2+cioi9Qsa2mGqBHz0a6nyh LGJRLvOe7vRYVGfyY3Z1V7l8VVjc8EyRGF+Nidl2y8XqEFoIr1VPu40p+hGTZoRf 5B6zqxL7D39dXPQmy3e1mV9daM64v9Z1Bf2PpCp5LtrAMTNBQEUrVnnf6yW451Gq SzVy9HOk/QFFvxj1bTcTZ44ZcZ2Med6Q9mNSRiP92YHVSCRH6NumFuMa3GRXpZA2 e/EXkXzk7i+QpQXtqfY8dXZiLmBf5PYpIEAFNpskUGJiv/IEwDESohGts15n6vtG YJHDExoXD3CjUTBYvNy89bFxhzN8OA== =6OMl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-XJCx9+NfPDuWq2TxOu7C--
