I like the period to be one or two weeks. This allows usually for
vacations and such.
I like a month of noninations with acceptance. This would also allow for
those interested in the postitions to provide a short intro and what they
would like to accomplish as part of the board. Followed by either one or
two weeks to cast the vote. This would make elections a maximum of 6
weeks.

We (the board) would like to start working on a proposal for organising
the elections of the next board.
The key questions are:
* Who can vote ?
I think that we should have a requirement of involement. A post to one of
the lists or IRC, combined with user.opensuse.org and a signed Guiding
principle. There should be a cut off from about 1 month prior to the

* How long should the voting period be ?
I like the period to be one or two weeks. This allows usually for
vacations and such.
* How should elections work ? (from an organisational and technical POV)
I like a month of noninations with acceptance. This would also allow for
those interested in the postitions to provide a short intro and what they
would like to accomplish as part of the board. Followed by either one or
