Note to anyone wanting to sign up for nominations -- do it NOW! Takes only a few minutes to put your name on the list. Even if you write only a short one-sentence blurb about yourself, at least put yourself in for consideration. You don't have to write a novel to be considered a candidate. :-) > > We have always used the 23:59 UTC on the calendar date specified.

The current policy is clear that there's a one-week delay, then we have the election and simply confirm the existing nominations to start with if we're at fewer than the number of seats open. Of course, that policy reads "proposal" at the top, so that makes it a little... er, less clear. I therefore make a counterproposal: We reschedule for nominations closing on the 13th, elections starting on the 16th (2359 UTC all dates). This gives us time to address this at a FDSCo meeting tonight if possible, or at worst, here on the list, which is understandably a little quiet since we all wore ourselves out at FUDCon. I'll also suggest at the meeting that we discuss the proposal, which didn't get a lot of uptake here on the list. Join us at #fedora-docs if you're able. -- Paul W.
