My main concern is that the nomination period is very short. Maybe I underestimate the degree of enthusiasm, but normally a problem for organizations like this is to find enough candidates willing to serve on bodies like the PSC.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Moving the elections back a week is fine, but I suggest keeping the start of nominations where it is so that more people can express interest. </div>

Dear PSC members<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Below you will find a draft of the Wiki, to be posted once a consensus is reached on the dates and form.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
<br>
Hernán<br>
<br>
<br>
= PSC Election 2024 =<br>
<br>
== Call for election ==<br>
<br>
The PSC election 2024 starts on **2024-09-09** and ends on **2024-10-19**.<br>
The new committee will be formed by **9** members, of which ***5*** are current members and ***4*** will be newly elected on this election.<br>
This is in accordance with the current PSC chair and the planning decided in light of the experiences in previous elections.<br>
<br>
<br>
=== 1. The process===<br>
<br>
The election process is split essentially in two phases: 1) the Nomination and 2) the Voting.<br>
Final actions are announcing the results and officially forming the new PSC, which will consist of **9** members, ***5*** already sitting and ***4*** newly elected.<br>
<br>
<br>
==== 1.1 Nominations ====<br>
<br>
During the Nomination phase, '''any''' member of the GRASS-GIS community, can nominate '''any''' community member for being a candidate for the PSC.<br>
<br>
Current PSC members are to be nominated for re-election in the same way by the community as possible new candidates.<br>
<br>
To set a nomination in motion, an e-mail should be directed to the CRO (cro.grass at <a href="http://osgeo.org" target="_blank">osgeo.org</a>) including '''name''', '''contact e-mail''' and shortly '''why''' a person is recommended as a PSC member.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
A nomination and its acceptance '''are required to be sent directly to the CRO''' in private. Following confirmation, it is the CRO's task to officially announce a nomination.<br>
<br>
<br>
==== 1.2 Voting ====<br>
<br>
The CRO will ensure to invite all eligible voters.<br>
<br>
Eligible voters are all people who:<br>
- have one or more merged pull requests in any of grass, grass-addons, grass-website, grass-promo repositories,<br>
- participated of GRASS PSC and community events,<br>
- have one or more merged pull requests in qgis/QGIS related to GRASS integration,<br>
- have one or more merged pull requests in rsbivand/rgrass, or<br>
- are registered and have translated for GRASS GIS in Weblate<br>
<br>
A list of eligible voters has already been compiled on the basis of the criteria given above. The list can be found at:<br>
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GdZUcwERaIJur9fXs1D05Sw-Jv57N3LfQ8njfM6Jd-4/edit?usp=sharing__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!e91JPJKgbSveEwvUK-SMO1JpPNm3CKV_mRRA5T8GktbZky4GJHUP3_AydVtCgcwG6m2qOYydnlNKUSi0oSlqtIS60pHEnw$" target="_blank">https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GdZUcwERaIJur9fXs1D05Sw-Jv57N3LfQ8njfM6Jd-4/edit?usp=sharing__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!e91JPJKgbSveEwvUK-SMO1JpPNm3CKV_mRRA5T8GktbZky4GJHUP3_AydVtCgcwG6m2qOYydnlNKUSi0oSlqtIS60pHEnw$</a><span> </span> <br>
<br>
If you believe you meet the criteria but do not find your name in the list, please contact the CRO at:<span> </span><a href="mailto:cro.grass@osgeo.org" target="_blank">cro.grass@osgeo.org</a><span> </span>or make
a pull request before September DDth.<br>
<br>
During the Voting period, eligible voters, can vote their preferred candidate(s) via an on-line tool which will protect privacy.<br>
<br>
Each voter can vote one time. However, there is no limit as to how many, among the candidates, a voter can select.<br>
