[GRASS-PSC] PSC elections

[nik at nikosalexandris.net]

Dear Hernán,

Congratulations for taking over this important role.
I think Moritz already shared the link(s) to notes of the last election.

Allow me please to share the following thoughts.

Elections are a corner-stone for any project and they should be given 
the attention they deserve. 'GRASS GIS' is a somewhat compact group and 
this helps often to get things done. Nevertheless, giving value and 
transparency to the elections, and the PSC itself, can only support the 
project's growth.

I would:

- try to inform and activate the community for participation.
- repeat and clarify the rules to the community with short messages, 
obviously without becoming invasive. --  We all forget and some will 
post, for example, their nomination directly to the list and not to the 
CRO.
- invite community members to explain why they nominate someone for the 
PSC
- invite nominees for 'self-defense': why does someone want to be a 
member of the PSC?

Wishes for a fruitful election procedure.
Kind regards, Nikos
