Wow, I definitely saw that email, but I guess I didn't parse the tiny-and-improbable "11/29 means noon PST" bit. Weird, I hope/assume there's some story behind that odd choice? :)
Well, I guess that makes this "user error" on my part, but my guess is I'm not alone since the nomination list is missing a bunch of the "usual suspects". So I'll reiterate that I think it's in the best interest of the foundation to slip the deadline for 24-36 hours. If not, so be it, but IMO that would be a pretty dumb reason to block good board candidates. Thoughts?
