#165 Formally surface the 'off the record' discussions resulting in the cancellation of the most recent elections
Closed: no action needed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by herrold.

I request that a formal statement be made, in the Community Blog, or in the wider circulation Fedora Magazine,, which surfaces the 'off the record' discussions resulting in the cancellation of the most recent elections

In very few democracies, is an elections master invested with the authority to, and permitted to cancel an election, particularly when balloting has begun. I would say none, but ...

see for context:

Council ticket 153


@mattdm

just now in the FESCO meeting:

11:36 tyll_> maxamillion: do you want to run again, you are currently missing
on the nominations list afaics:

11:36 nirik> it might be nice to have a schedule page for them thats at least a
year in advance.
11:36 maxamillion> tyll_: I shouldn't be, I added myself like a month ago
11:36 maxamillion> shouldn't be missing*
11:37 orc_fedo> maxamillion: the cancellation of the prior balloting removed
all nominees as to council -- not sure here
11:37 jsmith> maxamillion: The election got reset, and so did the list of
nominees
11:37 tyll_> jforbes: you are also missing atm:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Development/SteeringCommittee/Nominations
11:38 maxamillion> jsmith: when?
11:38 tyll_> and kalev is, too
11:38 jforbes> tyll_: Yeah, just added, I have been a bit busy since the
holidays with the sky falling and all
11:38 maxamillion> jforbes: heh
11:39 tyll_> maxamillion: jforbes: you also need to answer our three questions
in a private pagure instance now

I think the cancellation of the election balloting is not as well publicised as you might think, when these 'inside the look' people do not understand the import

OK. They're aware now. Announcements were sent to the devel list about this. Do you have concrete suggestions to do other things to improve the visibility? If not, I'm not sure there's anything actionable on what you're pointing out.

As noted above, there really isn't anything deep -- this is all there is to it, and the elections are now in progress.
