Hi All, Thank you for the reviews so far. As there were some recent changes to the release forecast, we discussed on the TSC & Community Call today to move up the election timeline to avoid conflicting with the final push of release preparations. The new proposed timeline is the following: TSC/PL/TL nomination starts @ October 01, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC/PL/TL nomination ends @ October 08, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC campaigning starts @ October 08, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC campaigning ends @ October 15, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC/PL/TL election starts @ October 15, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC/PL/TL election ends @ October 22, 2024 20:45 UTC I also created a patch with the new timeline to add it to the election webpage, once approved: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/election/+/927416 As we have the proposed timeline much closer than the original, __please voice your support or any concerns about the above suggested timeline by end-of-day on Tuesday (September 10).__ Thanks, Ildikó, on behalf of the election officials [1] [1] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/#election-officials

Hi StarlingX Community,
It is a friendly reminder that the time for the 2024, H2 election[1] period is now slowly approaching and therefore we need to start planning the process.
We need to decide on timeframe for the elections. For TSC we have a nomination, a campaign and a voting period, while for PL/TL elections we have a nomination and a voting period defined officially.
We are looking for a 3-week timeframe that doesn’t collide with any major holidays or milestones in the release process. To avoid major events as well the proposed timeline would be the following, which also matches what the community opted for a year ago:
TSC/PL/TL nomination starts @ October 29, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC/PL/TL nomination ends @ November 05, 2024 20:45 UTC
TSC campaigning starts @ November 05, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC campaigning ends @ November 12, 2024 20:45 UTC
TSC/PL/TL election starts @ November 12, 2024 20:45 UTC TSC/PL/TL election ends @ November 19, 2024 20:45 UTC
__Please voice your support or any concerns about the above suggested timeline by end-of-day on Tuesday (September 24).__
I will send out a separate email about the electorate list, to ensure that we capture all eligible contributors to participate in the elections. In the meantime, please check out the election webpage for details about who is eligible to participate in the election process for the various leadership positions.
If you have any questions or comments please reply to this thread or reach out to the election officials[3].
Thanks,
