To all X.Org Foundation Members: Due to some technical difficulties, the earlier election notification messages to members@xxxxx list did not go through (but also did not trigger bounce/moderator notification). We cross referenced the members list to the subscriber lists for xorg-devel, xorg, mesa-dev, and wayland-devel lists and concluded that there are a small percentage of x.org foundation members who were not also subscribed to one of the lists CC'd on the original notification about election period. For this reason, to ensure that all x.org foundation members have an opportunity to vote, we are extending the voting period by one week. The voting period will now remain open until 23:59 UTC on 12 April 2018.
