[seedig] Elections for SEEDIG executive committee: Election calendar & Call for volunteers for election committee

[Sorina Teleanu]

Dear all,

In line with previous announcements, we are hereby launching the election
process for the SEEDIG executive committee. Given the problems with the
SEEDIG website, all related announcements are made for now via this list,
and the website will be updated once the current issues are fixed.

In line with the Terms of Reference for the executive committee (attached),
the initiation of the election process consists in announcing the election
calendar and launching a call for volunteers to serve on the election
committee.

1. Election calendar

As per Art .6.2. of the ToR, please see the election calendar at the bottom
of this e-mail.

2. Call for volunteers to serve on the election committee

As per Art. 6 Section B of the ToR, the election process is to be managed
by a three-member election committee. The main tasks of the election
committee are outlined in Art. 6.9.

Should you wish to serve on the election committee, please express your
interest via this mailing list, by Sunday, 1 October, end of day. [We do
not require elaborated motivation letters, so we hope this serves as an
incentive. :) ]

Kindly note that the seats on this committee are to be filled in on a first
come first served basis. Those who plan to run for elections are
disqualified from volunteering or appointment on the election committee.
The election committee may also include observers from among SEEDIG
supporting organisations (as per Art. 6.8).

With this, the election process is officially open. Should you require
clarifications on any of the above, please let us know.

Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Sorina

(on behalf of current executive committee)
