This sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

As far as whether I can help or not is dependent on whether or not I decide to run. Since I'm considering it at least, perhaps I should bow out this time.

P.S. I would suggest contacting squeak-dev, reminding them of the responsibilities of the Elections team, and request interested volunteers, sooner rather than later.

Hi everyone,

Its that time of the year again, and I'd like some help organizing it, mostly in the sense of extra eyes, and there are also some particular tasks that I would appreciate some help with.

First, here's the timeline I am thinking of using:

2 weeks for candidate registration and general discussion (time for people to say what they want, convince their own favorites to run and so forth).

• candidate registration deadline

2 weeks for discussion with candidates - time for the candidates to present their platforms, and people to ask questions and so forth. Parallel to this, voter registration.

• deadline for voter registration

1 week for voting

• elections end, announcement of results.

Second, the list of general tasks:

• Endorsing participation from sibling communities, setting up delegates

to them.

• Setting up the CIVS election
• Official and other posts to general list to get the process moving.

So, who's here and willing to help? any thoughts about the timeline?

Daniel
