[Anne Ghisla]

Dear OSGeo members,

We need your help to identify the best of our community to be elected
to the Board.

We have 5 vacant seats. Astrid Emde, Codrina Maria Ilie, Helena
Mitasova, Till Adams and Vicky Vergara have reached the end of their
2-year term. Any of these board members wishing to stand in the 2021
election must receive a nomination, like any other candidate.

The nomination period for new Members of the Board of Directors is now
open and goes until Thursday, December 9th. Only Charter Members are
eligible for a seat on the Board and voting, but anybody can nominate a
Board member.

Briefly, to nominate new Board members, you should:

1. Please confirm with the person that they would like to stand for
    election as a Board member.

2. Email you nomination to cro at osgeo.org, using the following template:

- Nominating person: <your name>
- Nominee name: <nominee's full name>
- Nomination statement: <paragraph describing why you are recommending
  this person as member of the Board of Directors>

The updated calendar for the Board of Directors election is:

* Nomination period: 2021-11-25 to 2021-12-09 (15 days)
* Campaign period - 2021-12-10 - 2021-12-16 (7 days)
* Vote for new Board members: 2021-12-17 - 2021-12-24 (8 days)
* The results will be announced on 2021-12-29.

All the information about the elections is available in the wiki [1].

You can see the progress of the nominations on [2] (as soon as we
receive nominations).

Looking forward for your nominations!

Warm regards,

Anne Ghisla and Jorge Gustavo Rocha
