Hi Hernán,
Thanks for drafting the text!
As discussed privately, and because we are so close to the date, I
suggest starting the nomination procedure one week later, i.e. on Sep
16th, so during this week you send out the call as CRO and I can check
if there are new contributors entitled to vote. Also because the
announcement set September 15th as the last day to get PRs merged or
tell us if they didn't appear in the voters list.
Would you mind actually creating the wiki page with the content and we
edit directly there? It's much easier than going through an email. For
the wording about seats that will be renewed and whose seats are
those, I think you can use the announcement.
Thanks again!
Vero

Dear PSC members
I have now prepared a preliminary wiki text and timetable for the
2024
elections based on how we conducted the previous elections in
2020. My
idea was to run the elections starting on monday 9 september so to be
able to have the results ready by 19 october.
Below you will find a draft of the Wiki, to be posted once a
consensus
is reached on the dates and form.
Thanks in advance
Hernán

== Call for election ==
The PSC election 2024 starts on **2024-09-09** and ends on
**2024-10-19**.
The new committee will be formed by **9** members, of which
***5*** are
current members and ***4*** will be newly elected on this election.
This is in accordance with the current PSC chair and the planning
decided in light of the experiences in previous elections.
=== 1. The process===
The election process is split essentially in two phases: 1) the
Nomination and 2) the Voting.
Final actions are announcing the results and officially forming

community, can nominate '''any''' community member for being a
candidate

Current PSC members are to be nominated for re-election in the
same way
by the community as possible new candidates.
To set a nomination in motion, an e-mail should be directed to the
CRO
(cro.grass at osgeo.org <http://osgeo.org>) including '''name''',
'''contact e-mail''' and
shortly '''why''' a person is recommended as a PSC member.
The CRO will then contact the recommended person asking for
confirmation. The nominated person has to accept the candidacy
for the
PSC and will be asked to write a few lines stating what she/he
wants to
achieve as part of it.
A nomination and its acceptance '''are required to be sent
