Hi Mark, Thanks for stepping up for election, I will be writing to you officially on the project page very soon. Unfortunately as election officials we don't (rightly so) have anything to do with opensuse.org email cloaks etc. Looks like something somewhere along the line has gone wrong. You are obviously still on the project as you successfully posted on the lists, and I can also find your profile at https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/m4r3k I am copying this to and also to mstopka@opensuse.org to see what happens, as well as heroes@opensuse.org they are the guys who will be able to help sort this out. Heroes, please work with Mark to get this sorted out. Cheers, Ariez ajv@opensuse.org On 16/11/2020 00:54, Mark Stopka wrote:

Hi Ariez, I've sent my application from at that time non-subscribed e-mail address and it is pending approval, do you think you could do something about it?

Thanks in advance, somehow, when I joined the project @opensuse.org http://opensuse.org addresses were not a thing :-) -- Best regards / S pozdravem, BSc. Mark Stopka, BBA
