Sorry, I've only just read this after waking up!

From: Brent Vukmer [mailto:brent.vukmer@gmail.com] 2/10-2/17 sign up and awareness raising (ends midnight 2/17 UTC) 2/18-2/19 interim; prep for election (ends midnight 2/19 UTC) 2/20-2/23 vote (ends midnight 2/23 UTC) Is that correct?

To be clear, those are the midnights at the ends of the day, not at the starts of the day (I've never been sure what 'midnight' refers to).

I'm assuming the candidate list is closed

Yikes! I'm not - I was assuming that the candidate list is very much open until the awareness-raising and sign-up process ended, but I now realise that I was assuming that in your email 'registering on SqP' included the process for registering as a candidate. Certainly my process email referred to the two processes running in parallel.

I don't feel we have advertised the process for standing as a candidate enough; in particular, we have not advertised it to the other stakeholder communities. I would not want to close that until we closed voter registration.

I apologise for not picking up that point sooner.
