APR-Chair; Call for nominations

[Dirk-Willem van Gulik <di...@webweaving.org>]

Call for nominations for the Chair of the APR PMC.

The voting volunteers are ready to receive your nominations :-) Note that
the cutoff date is 2002-9-22.

You can either nominate yourself or you can nominate someone else.

What counts is that the confirmation from the nominee him/herself is
received by the voting volunteers.

So if you are nominated - you will need to confirm that explictly.

Nominations are made by posting to dev@apr.apache.org and Cc:
apr-vote@apache.org. Ideally it should include a short note on the
candidature.

Regardless of whether you nominate yourself, or whether you are nominated
by someone else; the nominee MUST post a message to dev@apr.apache.org and
Cc: apr-vote@apache.org to accept his candidature, a short description of
who he or she is are and what you want to accomplish in the next period.

This description is also used in the ballot form.

Note that PMC Seats are open to anyone. Regardless as to whether you are a
committer, lurker or coder. And you can even nominate complete outsiders
(assuming he or she would consent of course). You need to be elected of
course.

Note that the the volunteers handling the vote cannot be nominated.

The acceptance note of the nominee should include the email address of the
nominee - and it really should be a valid one.

If there are 1 or less nominees the elections are cancelled.

We'll announce the final recognised nominee list on 2002-9-23. You then
have 24 hours to nitpick or appeal - before the ballot forms are send out.

Have fun !

The reason for asking explitly for nominees now is that I could not find
anything like a 'deadline' or some other discriminatory element in the
past postings. It would be unfair to simply 'close' the nomination list at
some arbitrary point in time which was not pre-announced clearly ahead of
time as part of a timeline.

Should there be a better/easier way to do this for future elections - it
may make sense to edit the file pmc-email-ballot-example.txt in the
foundation/Ballots cvs repository with suggestions.

Also note that the STATUS file needs someone with CVS access to update it.
A potential chair nominee/canidate may not have such access or something
may be dropped by accident by those acting as a gate to the STATUS file.

There is already a set of nominations and (accepted) volunteers in
apr-core/STATUS.

If for some godawful procedural non-purpose, you don't want to accept the
contents of that file, then I hereby nominate: Sander Striker, Bill Rowe,
Cliff Woolley.

Cheers,
