> We are about to have the first-ever elections in the Squeak  
> community.  (Sweet!)  This is a long email; I want to make sure  
> that the steps and timing for the voting process are clearly  
> explained.
>
> Here's the process we'll follow:
>
> i) Voters from the 'squeak-dev' community must register on SqP and get
> ranked as Apprentice or higher by 2/17 midnight UTC (if you're not  
> ranked at least Apprentice, contact other SqP folks and ask them to  
> rank you)
>
> ii) We will contact the Squeak stakeholder organisations listed at  
> http://swiki.krampe.se/castaways/9 and asked to pass over
> email addresses of any voters they wish to include in the  
> election.  Each organization has until 2/17 midnight UTC to provide  
> their list.
>
> iii) Candidates who are willing to stand and meet the criteria  
> described at
> http://people.squeakfoundation.org/article/53.html must announce  
> their candidacy by 2/17 midnight UTC (ideally, with someone to  
> second them).
>
> The current list of candidates is:
>
> Noury Bouraqadi
> Ken Causey
> Peter Crowther
> Cees de Groot
> Marcus Denker
> Stephane Ducasse
> Craig Latta
> Tim Rowledge
>
> iv) The lists of email addresses from i) and ii) will be combined  
> into a list of voters
>
> v) I will create a private election on the CIVS web application  
> (http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html) using the voter list  
> from iv) and the candidate list from iii).  The election will be  
> run using Condorcet voting with
> the CIVS Ranked Pairs completion rule.  The election will run from  
> February 20th through Febuary 23rd.
>
> vi) The CIVS application will send each voter an e-mail informing  
> them that the election is open, reminding them of the date when the  
> election will end, and giving them a URL where they can rank their  
> choices.
>
> vii) I will email an announcement that the election has started to  
> squeak-dev and all stakeholder lists.
>
> viii) At midnight 2/23 UTC, the vote will be closed.
>
> ix) I will send an email declaring the result to squeak-dev and all  
> stakeholder lists, and will ask for feedback.
>
> This puts the election a week after the current Board has stepped  
> down.  This is due **only** to my negligence as Election Team  
> leader.  I have not put in the time needed to get the election done  
> before the current Board steps on 2/16.
>
> Here's the timeline in compact form:
>
> 2/10-2/17 sign up by voters; list-gathering by admins; last chance  
> for additional candidates (ends midnight 2/17 UTC)
> 2/18-2/19 set up CIVS for election (ends midnight 2/19 UTC)
> 2/20-2/23 vote (ends midnight 2/23 UTC)
