Hi All...
Way back on 10/23/17 there was an announcement of the election and the list of candidates. To date, I have not seen a similar email to the IAEP list. Why? There is one small difficulty (at least). This email, in Castellaño only, includes a reminder that the deadline for new members to indicate they want to be included in the vote is September 27, 2017 (two days ago). This went only to Spanish speakers, thus possibly disenfranchising some others who don't read Spanish. Caryl P.S. For others who didn't get the message, here is the text of the message from the 23rd along with a translation: Estimada comunidad de Sugar Labs, El Comité de Membresía y Elecciones está feliz reportar que tenemos 8 candidatos para las 4 posiciones disponibles para la elección de 2017–2019 de la Junta de Supervisión de Sugar Labs. Los candidatos que completaron exitosamente sus entregas al wiki a tiempo son: 1. Devin Ulibarri 2. Walter Bender 3. Sebastian Silva 4. Lionel Laské 5. Sameer Verma 6. Sean Daly 7. Adam Holt 8. Claudia Urrea Puedes leer las declaraciones de los candidatos en: <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2017-2019-candidates>. Gracias a todos los candidatos para publicar sus candidaturas.
