GNOME Foundation Election Rules & Timeline

+ +

Election Rules

+ +
    +
  1. + See the GNOME Foundation charter for + general rules. +
    2. +
  2. + There are 11 board slots that are to be filled during this election. +
    3. +
  3. + Members of the GNOME Foundation as of November 6, 2004 are eligible to + vote in the election. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can + apply for membership by completing the application. +
    4. +
  4. + Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors. + To announce your candidacy, send a message to + foundation-announce@gnome.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 November 8, 2004, 23:59 UTC. +
    5. +
  5. + All candidates should mail a summary of their candicacy announcement + (see previous rule) to elections@gnome.org. + 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 election. +
    6. +
  6. + All discussion related to the election should be held on + foundation-list@gnome.org. + Members are invited to ask questions to one or all candidates on that + list. +
    7. +
  7. + Ballots will be sent via e-mail to all eligible voters on November 19, + 2004, and must be returned by December 3, 2004, 23:59 UTC (18:59 EST). + Full instructions will be included in the ballot. +
    8. +
  8. + Ballots will be held confidential during the election, but an archive + of all submitted ballots will be made publicly accessible at its + conclusion. We are currently investigating the technical solutions for + an anonymous voting process, so it is not known yet whether the ballots + will be anonymized or not. +
    9. +
  9. + The Elections Committee is responsible for counting the ballots, after + taking appropriate action to fix misformatted ballots. +
    10. +
  10. + The 11 candidates who receive the most votes will be elected, except + that no more than 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 GNOME Foundation Charter. +
    11. +
  11. + In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Elections + Committee will schedule a run-off election as soon as possible. +
    12. +
  12. + The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as + possible after the election closes, along with instructions on how to + access the ballot archive and how to independently verify the vote + count. +
    13. +
  13. + Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing + elections@gnome.org + prior to December 17, 2004. The decision of the Elections Committee as + to any challenge shall be final. Once any challenges have been + resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce the final results. +
    14. +
  14. + Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the + Elections Committee by e-mail to elections@gnome.org. + The committee shall have the power to make any necessary changes or + clarifications to these rules at any point during the election. +
    15. +
