The Board consists of directors elected from the membership. Each year, an election is held to bring the total number of directors to eight. The four members receiving the highest vote totals will serve as directors for two year terms. The directors who received two year terms starting in 2021 were Lyude Paul, Samuel Iglesias Gonsálvez, Manasi D Navare and Daniel Vetter. They will continue to serve until their term ends in 2023. Current directors whose term expires in 2022 are Emma Anholt, Keith Packard, Harry Wentland and Mark Filion. A director is expected to participate in the fortnightly IRC meeting to discuss current business and to attend the annual meeting of the X.Org Foundation, which will be held at a location determined in advance by the Board of Directors. A member may nominate themselves or any other member they feel is qualified. Nominations should be sent to the Election Committee at elections at x.org. Nominees shall be required to be current members of the X.Org Foundation, and submit a personal statement of up to 200 words that will be provided to prospective voters. The collected statements, along with the statement of contribution to the X.Org Foundation in the member's account page on http://members.x.org, will be made available to all voters to help them make their voting decisions. Nominations, membership applications or renewals and completed personal statements must be received no later than 23:59 UTC on 20th March 2022. The slate of candidates will be published 28th March 2022 and candidate Q&A will begin then. The deadline for Xorg membership applications and renewals is 31st March 2022. Cheers, Lyude Paul, on behalf of the X.Org BoD
