[AFS3-std] 2012 Elections Process and Call for Nominations

[Jeffrey Hutzelman]

This message serves as a call for nominations for candidates to
serve as chairs of the afs3-standardization group.  Please read on
for details on how the process will work and how to register your
nomination(s).

Since this group has yet to formally adopt a permanent charter, I am
assuming that we are still operating under the process described in
draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-00.txt.  The elections process is
described in section 2.2.2 of that document.

The current chairs are Hartmut Reuter and myself; Hartmut's term ends
this year, and mine a year from now.  The normal process calls for the
existing chairs, including the outgoing chair, to act as vote-takers.

Consistent with the constraints described in section 2.2.2, this
election will proceed along the following timeline:

Jul  1  Eligibility Cutoff (see below)
Aug 14  Call for nominations
Aug 28  Nominations close - 23:59 UTC
Sep  3  Call for votes
Sep 17  Voting closes     - 23:59 UTC
Sep 24  Results announced
Oct  1  New chair takes office


Eligibility to vote is determined by those who are subscribed to, or
have posted to, the standardisation group during the time period from
the 1st of June to the 1st July of the appropriate year.  There were no
unsubscriptions and no posts from non-subscribers during or since that
period, and no new subscriptions during June.  However, there was one
new subscriber, Nathaniel.Hatley@gmail.com, on July 2.  Since that is
after the eligibility period, Nathaniel is not eligible to vote in this
election, even though he is a current subscriber.  Otherwise, the list
of eligible voters, reproduced below, is the same as the current list of
subscribers.  Note that while some voters may be listed with multiple
email addresses, the rule is that each person gets one vote, no matter
how many addresses are subscribed.


Any subscriber to this list may view the current list of subscribers
by entering their email address and list password at the bottom of
<http://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization>

Anyone at all may view the list of posts made during June by visiting
<http://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/afs3-standardization/2012-June/>


Nominations should be sent to the afs3-standardization mailing list and
also directly to Hartmut and myself.  Any consenting individual may be
nominated, but shall be both proposed and seconded by eligible voters.
Self-nomination is not permitted.

As shown in the above timeline, nominations are open for a period of 14
days from today, ending at 23:59 EDT on August 27, 2012 (03:59 UTC on
August 28, 2012).  Nominations received after that time will not be
considered.
