Hello all,
@Pascal You're welcome :)
@Victor Thank you very much!
@Robert You're right, more detailed announcement would be more
helpful. Thanks for your call.
The announcement follows a template that we have to make it simple for
the ones involved on the Elections Committee, the idea is the assure
the minimum information and save the volunteer time. I will add to the
template your request to not happen again :)
Meanwhile... quoting:
Seats to get elected
There will be 2 seats to be elected, each for a 2 year term.
Henne Vogelsang's seat is coming to expiration, and in addition he is
completing his two-term limit. That means he is not eligible for
re-election this time.
Manu was appointed this year after Peter Linnell stepped down. Peter
was elected in January of 2011. Thus, Manu's seat is up for election,
but he is eligible to get elected.
Company affiliation
In the event that individuals affiliated with a company or
organization hold more than 40 per cent of the electable seats,
affiliates from that corporation will be required to resign until
fewer than 40 per cent of electable seats are controlled by that
company or organisation.
Individuals affiliated with a company or organization are people who
are employees, officers, or members of the board of directors of an
organization; or have a significant consulting relationship; or own at
least 1 per cent of the equity or debt, or derivatives thereof, of a
company.
Resignation
Any person who has resigned from the Board or has been removed from
the Board is not eligible for nomination or appointment for or during
the next Board election period.
All about the Elections Board rules can be find

We'll make a second announcement next week and add more information.
Thank you again,
Izabel
