As you just did again. I suspect John is yet-another innocent victim of
reply-to mangling. ie. he never got a reply from you because it went to
the list, to which he is not subscribed.

I forward it to him to check that out; you know my views on the
community-killing characteristics of this default so I'll shut up
now ;-)

ATB,

Michael.

John:

You did indeed apply on September 29th[1], and I replied to you on-list[2] 
asking you to confirm your Membership of The Document Foundation as I could not 
find you on the member list[3]. I did not receive a reply from you and thus I 
considered your application invalid under the election rules[4].

If you still believe I have made an error, please provide the links to the 
evidence to support your claim.

Regards,

S.

Dear John, it looks like you are not a member of The Document
Foundation. This is a pre-condition for applying for candidacy and for
voting, as clearly enunciated in our community bylaws, that you can find
here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CommunityBylaws.

We are open to everyone, provided he shows a clear commitment to our
community and contributes in a visible way over a period of several months.

All this is clearly enunciated in our community bylaws.

I hope this explains. Best regards.

One pre-requisite to be a candidat for the BoD of the Foundation is to
be a Member of the said Foundation, as you can see in our ByLaws.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CommunityBylaws

Another, implicit this time, prerequisite to hold a position of Board
Member of the Foundation is to be familiar with its ByLaws, which one
would be tasked to enforced.

Norbert

I applied to be a candidate 5 days ago. Please advise me as to why I am not
on the list below. The applying email contents are:
My full name is:
John Aaron Rose
e-mail:
john.aaron.r...@googlemail.com
No corporate affiliation.
Reasons for wanting to serve as a director:
1.  To give voice to the concerns of end users.
2.  As I'm retired from work, I have sufficient time to serve the interests
of members
by acting as a conduit to the Foundation.
3.  I have had extensive experience working with developers & users of
business software.
