Please note that the nominations for Martin Schleicher, John Stenlake (TAC), Peter Lang, and Jeffrey Oiser-Mixon were not contested; and as a result, they are all acclaimed into their seats.
One Participant Member and One Committer Member seat on the Marketing & Brand Committee will remain vacant due to no nominations.
Ballot Distribution:
Ballots will be sent to working group representatives for Participant member members, and to Committer Members on projects within the purview of theSoftware Defined Vehicle Working Group.
Election Information:
Eclipse Working Group elections are performed using a process known as Single Transferable Vote, which requires each voter to complete a ranked ballot. By ranked ballot we mean that each voter ranks the candidates in their order of preference. The advantage of this approach is being able to elect multiple candidates at the same time which reflect the voters’ preferences.
The Eclipse Foundation uses a third party election system that performs the election calculations. Elections are performed with high integrity where a unique link is created with a random and secret access key for each voter. Additionally, voter anonymity uses secret ballots ensuring voters’ choices cannot be linked to voters. Voters must rank all candidates and cannot award two candidates the same ranking.
Standing candidates are encouraged to vote for themselves; ranking yourself (or your organization) as your #1 selection is standard practice.
Ballots will be distributed on March 20th and the voting period will remain open until March 31st 2026. If you expect to receive a ballot but do not, please check your spam filter.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
Zahra
