[Localization] Fwd: [IAEP] [ANNOUNCE] Election Details for 2012-2013

[Chris Leonard]

Dear Localization community,

A great many of you are more than qualified for Sugar Labs membership
and we would love to have your participation.   Please consider making
an application for membership (which will simultaneously register you
to vote in the upcoming SLOBs balloting).

Please note I am not up for re-election this round (having been
elected last year to a two year term), so my invitation is not coming
from  self-interest.

Warmest Regards,

cjl
Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator

Hi all,

It's that time of year again: oversight board election season! Four (4)
seats are to be selected over the coming months. The timeline[1] for the
election is as follows:

== Timeline ==

 - 2012-11-23 23:59 EST: Deadline for applications for membership.
 - 2012-11-24 23:59 EST: All membership applications processed.
 - 2012-12-07 23:59 EST: Candidate list closed.
 - 2012-12-08 17:00 EST: Ballots sent by email, start of voting period.
 - 2012-12-15 17:00 EST: Voting period ends.

I'll send out additional emails as we near each of the deadlines.

== Membership ==

If you haven't yet applied for membership in Sugar Labs, please do so.
If you're wondering whether you meet the requirements, if you're a
teacher using Sugar in your classroom, regularly reading mailing lists,
or have discussed Sugar in IRC, you probably do.

Follow the instructions on the wiki[3] before the deadline to ensure
your vote is counted! You can find a list of current members online[4].

== Candidacy ==

If you or somebody you know should be on the ballot, make sure to
publish an announcement of candidacy to IAEP, and put your name on the
list[2] before December 7.

== Election processes ==

Our election will be hosted at Selectricity, a service of the MIT Media
Lab. Ballots will be sent out via email, and votes will be anonymous.
All members are eligible to vote.

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to contact me.
