<div dir="ltr">Hi Hernán,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for drafting the text! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As discussed privately, and because we are so close to the
date, I suggest starting the nomination procedure one week
later, i.e. on Sep 16th, so during this week you send out the
call as CRO and I can check if there are new contributors
entitled to vote. Also because the announcement set September
15th as the last day to get PRs merged or tell us if they
didn't appear in the voters list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would you mind actually creating the wiki page with the
content and we edit directly there? It's much easier than
going through an email. For the wording about seats that will
be renewed and whose seats are those, I think you can use the
announcement. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again!</div>
<div>Vero</div>

PSC members<br>
<br>
I have now prepared a preliminary wiki text and timetable for
the 2024 <br>
elections based on how we conducted the previous elections in
2020. My <br>
idea was to run the elections starting on monday 9 september
so to be <br>
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 <br>
is reached on the dates and form.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<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 <br>
current members and ***4*** will be newly elected on this
election.<br>
This is in accordance with the current PSC chair and the
planning <br>
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 <br>
Nomination and 2) the Voting.<br>
Final actions are announcing the results and officially
forming the new <br>
PSC, which will consist of **9** members, ***5*** already
sitting and <br>
***4*** newly elected.<br>
<br>
<br>
==== 1.1 Nominations ====<br>
<br>
During the Nomination phase, '''any''' member of the GRASS-GIS
<br>
community, can nominate '''any''' community member for being a
candidate <br>
for the PSC.<br>
<br>
Current PSC members are to be nominated for re-election in the
same way <br>
by the community as possible new candidates.<br>
<br>
To set a nomination in motion, an e-mail should be directed to
the CRO <br>
(cro.grass at <a href="http://osgeo.org" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">osgeo.org</a>)
including '''name''', '''contact e-mail''' and <br>
shortly '''why''' a person is recommended as a PSC member.<br>
<br>
The CRO will then contact the recommended person asking for <br>
confirmation. The nominated person has to accept the
candidacy for the <br>
PSC and will be asked to write a few lines stating what she/he
wants to <br>
achieve as part of it.<br>
<br>
A nomination and its acceptance '''are required to be sent
directly to <br>
the CRO''' in private. Following confirmation, it is the
CRO's task to <br>
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, <br>
grass-website, grass-promo repositories,<br>

to GRASS <br>
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 <br>
criteria given above. The list can be found at:<br>

<br>
If you believe you meet the criteria but do not find your name
in the <br>
list, please contact the CRO at: <a
