| [asciidoc-wg] 2023 AsciiDoc Working Group Elections Coming Soon! |
Hello All,
This is an informational email about the AsciiDoc Working Group elections that will take place in May. The intention is to make everyone eligible to start thinking about running for the elections as well as voting. No action is required at this time.
Eclipse Foundation Working Group Charters identify the key committees that drive the various facets of each Eclipse Working Group for which there are annual elected positions to be filled. In the case of the AsciiDoc Working Group Charter, it indicates there are three committer seats each with elected positions to represent Committer members on the Steering Committee. Partner Members each have a representative appointed to the Steering Committee, and thus Partner member companies do not participate in this election.
The Eclipse Foundation plans to hold the 2023 AsciiDoc Working Group elections on behalf of the working group starting in early May with a view to have the election complete prior to the end of May.
Please note the following phases all elections follow:
The exact timelines for each of the phases and detailed instructions on what needs to be done will be announced via email in early May
The election process will follow the Eclipse “Single Transferable Vote” method, as defined in the Eclipse Bylaws.
All members are encouraged to consider nominating someone for the positions, and self-nominations are more than welcome! Nominations must be received to this general mailing list by required deadline in order to be considered. Please wait for the official announcement details before doing so!
Membership Nomination Eligibility:
Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of the working group are eligible to stand for election. Committers may be considered members by virtue of either a) being employed by a working group corporate member, or b) an individual committer who has executed the AsciiDoc Working Group’s Participation Agreement.
Ballots will be distributed via email to the members of each constituency eligible to vote. Should a situation arise where a tie occurs, a tie breaker will be performed virtually. Please note that ballot distribution will be provided by the Eclipse Foundation via a third party election service.
Stay tuned for the election announcement email that will be sent in early May.
Best Regards,
