Til: <announce@documentfoundation.org>

Summary:
========
With the freeze of membership applications taking effect at midnight last
night, self-nominations are now open for The Document Foundation Board of
Directors election.


Detail:
=======
Nominations are now open for the election of Directors to the Board of The
Document Foundation. This election follows the Bylaws [1] of our Foundation.
The term is one year commencing from the date the Foundation is legally
established.

If you are listed as a Member of The Document Foundation today (2011-09-03)
[2], you are eligible to vote in the elections. To vote, your membership
also needs to still be valid at the end of the elections (2011-10-26).

If you are eligible to vote, you are also eligible to be elected to the
Board of Directors. To announce your candidacy, send a message to
steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org with your full name, e-mail,
corporate affiliation (if any), and a description of your reasons for
wanting to serve as a director. Candidacies must be announced prior to
2011-09-30, 23:59 UTC.

There are seven (7) board seats that are to be filled during this election.
Three (3) additional deputies are to be selected, so the total of slots to
be filled by election is ten (10).

All candidates should also send a summary of their candidacy announcement to
elections@documentfoundation.org - a compilation of the summaries will be
mailed to all registered voters several days prior to the elections.
Summaries should be no more than 75 words of continuous text (so no bullet
lists or multiple paragraphs) and must be received by the nomination
deadline given above.

All discussion related to the elections should be held on
discuss@documentfoundation.org where Members are invited to ask questions to
one or all candidates. Instructions explaining how to vote will be sent via
e-mail to all eligible voters by 2011-10-07.

The 10 candidates voted for most as counted by a single transferable vote
system [3] will be elected, except that no more than two individuals
affiliated with any one corporation may be elected. Should more than two of
the top ten vote-getters be affiliated with the same company, only the two
with the most votes will be considered elected.

In the event of a tie for the final seat on the board or the final deputy
slot, the Membership Committee will schedule run-off elections as soon as
possible. The Membership Committee will announce preliminary results as soon
as possible after the elections close, along with instructions on how to
access the votes archive and how to independently verify the vote count.

Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
elections@documentfoundation.org prior to 2011-10-26. The published decision
of the Membership Committee as to any challenge shall be final. Once any
challenges have been resolved, the Membership Committee shall announce the
final results.

Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
Membership Committee by e-mail to elections@documentfoundation.org . The
committee shall have the power to make any necessary changes or
clarifications to these rules at any point during the elections.
