Based on Alta's feedback, here is a new draft (she noted people will need to use test-auth until monday)

It is still true that you need to have a core contributor grant and a valid/active opensolaris.org account. This still needs to be done by Feb 14, 2010 23:59hrs PT. here is the correct way to figure all of this out: Log into the OpenSolaris auth system: http://auth.opensolaris.org/ If you are able to successfully login, your account is active. If you have trouble there, please contact website-admin at opensolaris.org To see your expiration date, you will need to log into the http://test-auth.opensolaris.org/ site until the new Auth site rolls out on Monday, Feb 8, 2010. Once there click on "Collectives" to see if you have an active, unexpired Core Contributor grant for at least one community. Please note that while "contributor" is a member type of the "electorate", contributor status alone does not entitle you to vote. (NOTE: This is the test-auth site. DO NOT MAKE CHANGES HERE. This view will roll out to the real auth site on Monday) Make sure your grant is valid until the end of the election, March 23, 2010. See the full election calendar here: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+ogb/2010 You can see history for expired grants under "Show history" which may give you a clue to where to ask for grant renewal. Folks facilitating renewals for their community, you can see other people's grant information here: http://test-auth.opensolaris.org/info/listCollectives.action?collectiveTypeId=2 Select the community name, then "User Relationships". (NOTE: This is the test-auth site. DO NOT MAKE CHANGES HERE. This view will roll out to the real auth site on Monday) To renew grants or add new ones, please make sure everyone agrees to this policy: http://wiki.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OGB_2009/007 then submit a defect at http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/ under: Community/grants and additionally send mail to ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org. http://poll.opensolaris.org/ is out of date and should not be used. This includes the "wget" method sent earlier. Thank you, Valerie
