["Rick O'Connor" <rickoco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello OpenHW Members - please circulate to your teams internally.  You are receiving this notice in your role as member representative for OpenHW Group.

Our call for Working Group (WG) and Task Group (TG) Chair / Vice-Chair / Co-Chair nominations has resulted in several of the WG / TG leadership roles being acclaimed as most nomination candidates were unopposed for many of the positions.  The Cores TG received 3 candidate nominations and a formal election ballot has been issued.

With that being said, the acclaimed leadership team for the remaining WGs / TGs is shown below.
