Board of Directors elections - voting token and more information

Dear Members,

On Monday November 29th we sent out the mail with the token and the invitation to vote for the new Board of Directors.

The subject of the message was:
"Your Document Foundation 2021 Board Elections Voting Token"
from the sender:
"elections@documentfoundation.org"

Please, check your inbox and the spam folder too! :wink:

In case you didn't find the message, please, reach out to us at
elections@documentfoundation.org.

According to the announcement[0], this is the relevant timeline for voting:

* Friday, 2021-12-03, 00:00 CET/UTC+1: official start of the election

* Monday, 2021-12-13, 24:00 CET/UTC+1: end of the election

You have enough time but don't forget to cast your vote!

For what concerns our voting system, the foundation adopted the STV voting system with the Meek method.
Please realise that it tries to optimise to make your first choice most likely to be on the board, with subsequent choices being much less probable (unless your earlier choices are very popular). As such the order of your choices really is important.

For more details please read also the page on Wikipedia[2].

You can find more information on this election directly from the election website[1] that includes also the list of candidates with their affiliations and candidacy statements[3].

On behalf of the Membership Committee,
Marina Latini
