So please start shooting ideas, brainstorming, thinking out loud.
The key questions are:

* Who can vote ?

Signed guiding principles should be the very least. No clue how to best
identify unique individuals to avoid cheating.

* Who can we vote for ?

Anyone who wants to run, I guess - maybe only members should be allowed to
run.

* How long should the voting period be ?

Maybe 2-3 weeks after the deadline for people to announce their candidacy.

* How should elections work ? (from an organisational and technical POV)

I'd suggest that board members are elected for a period of two years, and that
only two board members are up for election per year (one Novell, one
non-Novell). This way some consistency in the board is ensured - as opposed
to the risk of the entire board being replaced in one election.

It would probably be a good idea to also elect some substitutes - one
non-Novell and one Novell - in case someone has a tragic accident, decides to
jump ship, etc.
