Nominations for Member-Elected Board Positions

[JeffT]

This thread is for tracking, posting, and replying to nominations and seconds for member-elected board positions. This first post will be updated as the status changes. People may post in this thread to nominate or second candidates, and candidates may respond to a nomination. For discussion or questions to candidates, please use the designated Q&A threads for each position instead.

Nominations must be seconded to be valid. You cannot nominate or second yourself.

After Sep. 8, nominees who responded as "defer" at the Rant and Rave meeting and had not yet accepted were removed from the candidate list. You may still accept after Sep. 8 if you were nominated and seconded; your nomination is still valid, but your definitive acceptance is required to remain on the candidate list after Sep. 8.

Once you are nominated and seconded, you may change your acceptance status at will until the nominations deadline of Sep. 24, 11:59pm.

<<decline for chair.

[JeffT]

Sarah contacted me privately to accept the nomination for Director of Relations.

[JeffT]

As previously announced, nominees in "defer" status have been removed from the candidate list. Such nominations are still active and such candidates may still accept. However, "defer" is no longer an official status. Nominees must definitively accept to be listed as candidates.

I'd like to decline my nomination for Programming and Accept for  Operations.
