So now it is official to be mandatory to post to the mailing list, which I totally see necessary and mandatory and the one to count for candidacy.
But should it not be also mandatory to announce publicly here on TMO? (as not all, I would say few, are subscribed to that mailing list)
In earlier times maemo.org and TMO were distinct sites, but now they belong together.

July 1st (today) belongs already to Q3. Do we need to rename the election?

ok, but... what about election rule # 12:
?

Damn it. Who wrote rule 12?

I see, the rules had a grey spot.

It wasn't mentioned what counts as an "official nomination".
There must be a way to make a nomination official.
What makes one's nomination official?

I wouldn't say the current custom isn't the right way, because the correct way wasn't explicitly mentioned in the rules. Because it isn't/wasn't mentioned in the rules at all, I'd say follow the current conduct of doing things until this grey spot has been fixed.

But the rules cannot be altered without referendum, so I'd say delete the altered bit, stick with current custom... or have a really urgent community chat if you want to change the custom. As the custom has been formed in a long period of time, I don't think it should be changed just like that, when it has achieved a position of being considered as a official rule, without even being so.

Just my two cents, and I really mean two cents, as I'm not an expert and not even very active in these forums, not to mention I'm not any figure of authority in this matter. So feel free to ignore my post, I've not meant to insult anyone with my take on this.

Yes, it seems I made a hasty edit. Damn.
Have to roll that back.

However, there needs to be an official way to do this, right?

Apologies for missing this one. The day job required my attention. Normally my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm on the east coast in the US.

Can we proceed with the voting now?

There is some admin being sorted, Council will be meeting tomorrow on IRC to confirm candidates. I assume it'll kick off soon thereafter.

Now that we have sorted out the 10 candidates, we have a weeks time to discuss & interview the candidates to make up our minds on who are our favourites.

The voting period will start next week.
