[AFS3-std] 2013 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 Michael Meffie and myself; my term ends this
year, and Mike's 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 15  Call for nominations
Aug 30  Nominations close - 23:59 UTC
Sep  4  Call for votes
Sep 18  Voting closes     - 23:59 UTC
Sep 25  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 new subscriptions and no posts from non-subscribers during June.
However, one subscriber, billdo@umich.edu, unsubscribed after the end
of June.  Since Bill was subscribed during June, he is eligible to vote,
even though he does not appear on the current list of subscribers.
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.  Additionally,
only people may vote; archive and list exploder addresses do not get
a vote.

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/2013-June/>


Nominations and seconds should be sent to the afs3-standardization
mailing
list and also directly to Michael 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 15
days from today, ending at 23:59 EDT on August 30, 2013 (03:59 UTC on
August 31, 2013).  Nominations received after that time will not be
considered.
