I'd just rather have all candidate statements in one place, for ease of reading/comparing.<br>

<br>
Ah, thanks Kathy. I'll make a note to document the election process for next<br>
round - it can only get smoother ;)<br>
<br>
So - two approaches I can see:<br>
<br>
1. Ask nominees to submit a brief bio on the nomination deadline (May 1,<br>
giving all nominees 10 days before polls open to get their bios in)<br>
2. Ask nominees to submit a brief bio as part of their nomination acceptance<br>
(via note to the general list soon'ish).<br>
<br>
I'm easy - what do folks think - approach 1 or 2?<br>
I'm on the road today - apologies for delays.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

Hi Ben,<br>
<br>
I have one follow-up question. Last year, the candidates were asked to<br>
write a statement. See -<br>
<a href="http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/62mse57e4zse2q6y" target="_blank">http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/62mse57e4zse2q6y</a>.<br>
<br>
I believe we asked for the statements last year because it was a contested<br>
race. We don't know if it will be a contested race again this year, but<br>
since there is a quick turnaround time between the nomination deadline and<br>
the voting dates, if we do need statements, it would be good if they had<br>
some lead time to prepare them.<br>
<br>
Is this something we should be asking them to do?<br>
<br>
I apologize for not raising the question during yesterday's meeting, but it<br>
didn't occur to me until this morning.<br>
<br>
Kathy<br>

registration closes on Monday, May 11 and will run through the 14th.<br>

Greetings,<br>
<br>
The nomination and voter registration periods for the 2015 Evergreen<br>
Oversight Board elections are now underway.<br>
<br>
Three seats on the board are open this year, each for a three-year term.<br>
Nominations may be made by any individual who has contributed to<br>
Evergreen or who is employed by an institution that runs Evergreen.<br>
Email nominations and self-nominations can be sent to the Evergreen<br>
Oversight Board mailing list. If you have questions or would like<br>
information about what it means to be on the board, you are welcome to<br>
contact the Nominating Committee by sending an email to any or all of:<br>
<br>
Rogan Hamby, York County Library (South Carolina) and SC LENDS<br>
Chauncey Montgomery, Sunbury Community Library (Ohio)<br>
Chris Sharp, Georgia Public Library Service (Georgia)<br>
Ben Hyman, British Columbia Libraries Cooperative (BC, Canada)<br>
<br>
After confirming the nominees, the committee will announce the nominee’s<br>
names to the Evergreen Community general discussion list.<br>
<br>
The deadline for nominations is 1700 Pacific, Friday, May 1st, 2015.<br>
<br>
To be eligible to vote, you must either be an individual who has<br>
contributed code, documentation, or other work to the Evergreen Project,<br>
or you must be employed by an institution that is contributing to the<br>
project by virtue of running Evergreen.<br>
<br>
Please register to vote by completing this short survey no later than<br>
1600 Pacific, Monday, May 11:<br>
<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RXVRSKJ" target="_blank">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RXVRSKJ</a><br>
<br>
The election will be held on Thursday, May 14th. Unlike last year, we<br>
will not be using the Scottish Single Transferable Vote (STV) System.<br>
Instead, we will be using an OpaVote “ Approval Vote” wherein registered<br>
voters are asked to select their top 3 candidates from a list.<br>
For more information on OpaVote, please see: <a href="https://www.opavote.org/" target="_blank">https://www.opavote.org/</a><br>
<br>
Registered voters will receive an invitation to vote on Thursday May, 14.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
