<h1>Rules &amp; Timeline for the GNOME Foundation 2007 Elections</h1>
<h2>Elections Rules</h2>
<ol>
<li>
See the <a href="../../about/charter/">GNOME Foundation charter</a> for
general rules.
</li>
<li>
There are 7 board slots that are to be filled during these elections.
</li>
<li>
Members of the GNOME Foundation as of November 8, 2007 are eligible to
vote in the elections. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can
apply for membership by completing the <a
href="../../membership/application.php">application</a>.
</li>
<li>
Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors.
To announce your candidacy, send a message to
<a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/">foundation-announce&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>
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 November 16, 2007, 23:59 UTC.
</li>
<li>
All candidates should mail a summary of their candicacy announcement
(see previous rule) to <a
href="mailto:elections&#64;gnome&#46;org">elections&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>.
Summaries should be no more than 75 words of continuous text (i.e. no
bullet lists or multiple paragraphs) and must be received by the
nomination deadline given above. A compilation of the summaries will
be mailed to all registered voters several days prior to the elections.
</li>
<li>
All discussion related to the elections should be held on
<a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">foundation-list&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>.
Members are invited to ask questions to one or all candidates on that
list.
</li>
<li>
Instructions explaining how to vote will be sent via e-mail to all
eligible voters on November 25, 2007, and votes must be returned by

<li>
Votes will be held confidential during the elections, but an anonymized
archive of all submitted votes will be made publicly accessible at its
conclusion.
</li>
<li>
The Elections Committee is responsible for counting the votes.
</li>
<li>
The 7 candidates who receive the most votes will be elected, except
that no more than two/four individuals affiliated with any one
corporation may be elected. Should more than four of the top eleven
vote-getters be affiliated with the same company, only the four with
the most votes will be considered elected. For a full definition of
corporate affiliation, see the <a href="../../about/charter/">GNOME

href="mailto:elections&#64;gnome&#46;org">elections&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>
